At the UNSC Open Debate on “The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question” chaired by Bahrain on 30 April 2026, Mr. Cherdchai Chaivaivid, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Thailand to the United Nations, expressed deep concern over the situation in Gaza, stressing the urgent need to protect civilians, ensure humanitarian access, and uphold international law. A negotiated peaceful solution remains the only viable path forward. Thailand calls on all parties to exercise restraint and work toward de-escalation and a sustainable resolution.

Ambassador Cherdchai also reiterated Thailand’s support for a just and lasting peace, including a two-State solution where Israel and Palestine live side by side in peace and security.
