In return, Israel will release 150 Palestinian women and children held in Israeli jails, who have long been considered by Palestinians as victims of the Israeli occupation that imprisons them without trial.
The prisoners arrested by Hamas on October 7 include Israeli soldiers and civilians, as well as people from dozens of foreign countries. Both in Israel and abroad, the prisoners' families have pleaded for their release.
Qatar's Al-Ansari said that 10 Thai nationals and a Filipino national were released outside the framework of the ceasefire agreement.
Earlier on Friday, Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said that 12 Thai nationals who helped in Gaza had been released.
"It has been confirmed by the security forces and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that 12 Thai hostages have been released," Thavisin wrote on X.
According to the Thai Foreign Ministry, around 30,000 Thais work in Israel, mainly in the country's agricultural sector. The Hamas attack on October 7 killed at least 32 Thai workers.Â
