A Royal Thai Army naval ship sank in the Gulf of Thailand due to a severe storm and large waves. The ship suffered a power outage, followed by the main engine failing and the ship losing control.
The search and rescue operations with helicopters for the 31 missing seafarers on board are still underway, the Thai Navy Spokesperson Adm Pokkrong Monthatpalin stated, adding that the ship carried more than 100 crew members.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said Germany sees a negotiated two-state solution as the only path forward and emphasized, “For Germany, recognition of the State of Palestine is still at the very end of the process. However, such a process must begin immediately.” Ahead of his visit to Israel and Palestine, Wadephul urged Israel to ensure the safe distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza and warned against unilateral annexation steps in the West Bank.
