Thailand's canned tuna exports to the Middle East soared by 20.73% in the first nine months of 2024, reaching 65.98 billion baht, primarily driven by increased food demand due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
Beyond the regional conflict, recovering economic conditions in major trading partners like the United States, Europe, and Australia, coupled with evolving consumer preferences for convenient and healthier food options, also significantly contributed to Thailand's overall canned tuna export growth.

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.
