Roger Crutchley, Published on 05/04/2026

» The return on Dec 10 of the remains of Sudthisak Rinthalak, the last Thai national abducted by Hamas on Oct 7, 2023, closes a painful circle; but it does not close the wound. His return is not only a moment of relief but a moment of remembrance. It forces us to confront, once again, the human cost of the massacre carried out by Hamas on that dark day.
