Cambodian PM Confirms Cambodians in Israel Safe

Phnom Penh, October 25, 2023 --

Cambodia’s Prime Minister Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet confirmed today that 452 Cambodians in Israel are safe, citing that our working groups are working closely to facilitate and set up a safe zone for them.

“We regularly monitor the situation of Cambodian students and citizens in Israel and make regular contacts with the Israeli authorities to ensure the safety and security of those students and citizens,” Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet said in a get-together with garment workers in Kampong Cham province this morning.

During the war between Hamas and Israel, the Royal Government of Cambodia has rented five-star hotels on the border between Egypt, Jordan and Israel to provide a safe zone for Cambodian citizens and students, he said.

As of October 25, 2023, the Royal Government of Cambodia continues to monitor the situation of Cambodian students and citizens who are in Israel, the Prime Minister added.
