He added that the government has analysed the situation and resolved that several Thais were reluctant to leave Israel due to financial issues.
As a result, the Cabinet has decided to grant 50,000 baht in compensation to each Thai worker who returns from Israel, and they will also be eligible for a 150,000-baht soft loan.
The Foreign Ministry confirmed on Sunday that 32 Thais have been killed and 19 injured in the fighting, while 22 others have been captured by Hamas.
Srettha said Foreign Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara had visited Qatar and Egypt to seek more information from all sides concerned to negotiate the release of the hostages.
He added that Parliament President Wan Muhamad Noor Matha, who has connections with some Islamic nations, and the supreme commander have also joined the negotiations.
