Thailand protests against Israeli bosses sending Thais to work in high-risk areas

13 Sept 22:58 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's embassy in Tel Aviv formally protested Israeli authorities over employers sending Thai workers to high-risk areas, exposing them to lethal danger.
The protest was prompted by a rocket attack in Metula, near the Lebanese border, which killed four Thai workers and injured a fifth in a military zone.
Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa expressed concern, urging Thai agencies to advise workers against traveling to the region for safety, while acknowledging their need for income.
As a new UN Human Rights Council member, Thailand also called on Israel to exercise restraint to prevent the armed conflict from spilling over into other countries.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
