- Cordelia Lynch speaks to the hostage negotiator who was at the centre of talks to free Thais held captive in Gaza.
Some 19 Thai nationals have been released by Hamas as part of a ceasefire deal with Israel.
But 39 were also killed by militants during the 7 October attacks - the highest number of deaths of any nationality besides Israel.
Dr Lerpong Sayed represented a Thai Shia Muslim group that took part in the talks.
He discusses how the group approached the negotiations, and why Hamas decided to free the Thai hostages.

What a terrible, hateful interviewer. She tried so hard to control this narrative. Huge respect to him for staying calm and telling his truth
Except it's not his truth, it's THE truth
She is a great interviewer, she is white and asked questions of every brainwashed white person would ask. He is a great man to answer all the questions. Whats there to hate?
Agree wholeheartedly with your comment.....terribly bias, uninformed and ignorant..... I don't see any neutrality in her question......too many leading questions and fervent desire to blame Hamas for what happened, ignoring the decades of oppression, wrongful imprisonment and murder of so many innocent Palestinians. Not very professional.....
I'm not sure that's true. She asked questions based on certain public perceptions which helps dismantle them. This is needed. She never interrupted nor challenged his answers. I've just seen far worse than this.
@@MysteryFaceX They should go over to BBC and see how their anchors get super emotional.
She tried extremely hard to make Hamas look like barbaric people with her manipulative questions but got shut down every time. Shame on sky
Said the same.
Um, Hama$ ARE barbaric people.
Hamas are barbaric people.
I think it's important to deconstruct the narrative, so she asked questions based on narratives often used by major media outlets. If they really wanted to make Hamas look bad, they wouldn't have released this interview.
Btw, I'm not familiar with Sky News or their bias leanings. I just wanted to watch this interview.
I think she asked valid questions, why the Thai hostage negotiation was different from the rest and why they were treated better than the other hostages- it was preference based on religion and sympathy of the negotiators towards Palestine. He stated his truth, and the interviewer didn’t interrupt. I think people wanted to hear stories from the hostages, right. Why are we upset to know the details coming out and the truth.
The reporter is dying to get anything from the guy to criticize Hamas but she failed miserably 😂😂😂
She exposed the mindset of the interviewee....
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He said “Hamas only wanted to attack their military” after all the rape and torture footage we’ve seen ….
@@dominickjvlogs rape 😂😂 not a single case or a woman came out saying she was raped 😂😂 hamas killed only military personal and civilians with arms. Go check your newspapers and reports, apparently your IDF killed its own people 😂😂
@@dominickjvlogsWhere exactly? Because we only heard that from the Israelis without a proof, I don't think that Hamas had the time to rape or torture anyone given the whole thing happened in about 2 or so hours
her efforts to push him into saying a particular narrative is genuinely embarrassing western media and journalism is a joke
What a disgraceful interviewer!
I respect this man's honor and courage while facing this type of biased media..
They are all the same as those BBC, CNN, ect trying twist & turn so that all those sided Hamas look bad as terrorist. Just look at the way she interview the negotiator....its so sarcastic.
She's got payroll to keep.
I am Thai. The Thai government didn't even give any credits to Dr. Lerpong and the Thai parliament speaker who is also a Muslim (Dr. Wannor) for their efforts that successfully secured Thai hostages. Dr. Lerpong and his team engaged directly with Iran and were able to talk directly with Hamas officials in Iran to secure the release of Thai workers that were taken as prisoners. The Thai government was completely inept. And they don't give credits to the Muslim community at all. The release of Thai people wasn't even part of prisoners' exchange between Hamas and Israel, this was completely a different deal between Thai officials and Hamas. But Israel tried to hijack this effort. The Israelis are shameless. Truly a nation of thieves and murderers.
@@fairuzhussaini7301I thought we wanted to hear from the hostages and the entire negotiation process. The interviewer and interviewee were respectful, questions and answers were clear. It’s good to know how they did it.
@@rostinamuhammadkassim-ke3kl Quite the contrary, she didn't interrupt, asked about the negotiation process that even Qatar will not disclose and many don't know what takes place. The interviewer let him answer questions, no drama like those in BBC, some in CNN.
As a fellow southeast Asian, im so proud of this man for his bravey and truthfulness. He is indeed a free man who do not have any agenda unlike this shameful woman.
He's a pure anti-Semitic Shia Muslim who should never have been sat down to interview.. I hope to god that they didn't pay him!
@@DemiMee whoever speaks the truth is antisemit; hahahahaha
As a fellow Southeast Asian, I see he's choosing his words very carefully to maintain positive relations with Iran.
Dr Leroong was extremely honest in this interview. Bless him
Becoz he is a Muslim .. His full name is Dr Lerpong Sayed...
A Thai Muslim ...
@TreiHutchinson
He hasn't tried to hide his support for the Palestinian cause.
Ameen
It surely helped that he spoke in Thai. No chance for interruption from the interviewer until translation is complete by which time, she can only proceed with a next question 😂
Exactly well said
I often feel that when Palestinians are interviewed, they speak in English. And while they are clearly intelligent and speak English very well, it is much more difficult to convey your thoughts fully when speaking a second or even third language. Palestinians should answer questions in Arabic, with a good translator.
@@cometmoon4485
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo!
@@cometmoon4485That is not the point, Palestinians speak excellent English if permitted to speak which they are not by mainstream media which keeps constantly disrupting them in the middle of their sentences so not to let their truth spread.
Greatly said.
Working in Israel for five years, Mr Sorachuan said the current war is the worst confrontation between Palestine and Israel he has seen.
He said he and other Thai workers can hear gunfire daily and must run to a bunker to escape the fighting when it gets close.
"The employer is now reducing our wage and changing our bonus conditions. We are told to resume working all the time," Mr Sorachuan said

BBC News Thai investigation has discovered many Thai nationals living and working on Israeli farms are being exploited and abused. Tens of thousands of Thai labourers work in Israel under a scheme organised by the two governments. Many are subjected to unsafe working practices and squalid, unsanitary living conditions. Some are overworked, others underpaid, and there are dozens of unexplained deaths. (170 Thai workers have died while in employment in Israel)
Please educate your ppl to stop working in Israel. Their not kinds person. Huge cases being heard about their harassing and bullying foreign workers. If any riots gonna sent to army prison
Yes Indians want to follow
Wow
There are many anecdotal reports of systemic racism in Israel. There may be many exceptions, but the general impression that one gets is that Israeli society is deeply racist.
The unexplained number of deaths could be related to the Skin Bank and Organs trafficking!!
She's a horrible reporter. She keeps redirecting the questions to Hamas, rather than speak about the civilians of Palestine being ridiculed. She never asked if IDF's actions were justified.
With the way the interviewer questioned the Thai Hostage Negotiator, its evident that she was trying to steer the conversation towards her narrative rather than actually listening to what he is saying and why. It really came off as ingenuine and insincere.
Right?? 😵💫 I am shocked! How is she not embarassed!!?? What a vile pc of sh!!
The man is clearly really smart.
Did Sky news really broadcast this? its amazing. I dont think Sky news Australia would do the same, since they are also a settler colony
Some of my relatives were paid by the Australian government to move to Australia, they were invited. In the 60s and 70s Brits were being offered £500 to move. Like when the British government invited the Windrush generation.
She just didn’t get what she set out to do. She must have said to the camera person “nothing to see here let’s go” 😂
Actually she did manage to expose him. She has seen film of the atrocities that he hasn't seen. Plus the Thai hostages have told a completely different story to him. @@SK-CAN
no she didn’t! Stop lying! We all know it’s in your dna 😂
Sky News Australia is a sham.
Dr Lerpong Sayed has excellent reply regarding Israel occupation in Palestine and forced to move out their home .The narrative done by Sky news cant able to go through when he said 2nd citizen, move out from their home.
Bravo Dr Larpong I am very satisfied ur stand on Palestine.
What silly questions, often loaded with her own perceptions rather than facts. Good on him standing his ground and sticking to the objective truth. She must’ve been surprised that the rest of the world doesn’t share the western world’s views on H, I or P!!
He did well to tolerate her idiotic questions.
Host failed attempt to get “I condemn Hmsss” from objective Thai gentlemen. Respect for Thai spoke person !
He’s ethnic Malaysian. No real Thai worships Islam.
She should ask piers morgan lol
shame on the interviewer, she tried so hard to make him say something bad about hamas. how unprofessional. i wish i had this man's level of patience
I like the way sky news are trying their best to make him speak things against hamas and if he doesn't then sky news still put words in his mouth.
damn right dude, they really trying hard to make he lean on their agenda. so stupid, not even have the audacity to cover it up.
What a journalist, trying to steer the story her way!!
That failed effort of the reporter to demonize Hamas 😂😂
… this guy said Hamas only wanted to attack military targets after we watched them film themselves raping and murdering civilians and then bragging about it …
stop spreading misinformation, its annoying@@dominickjvlogs
@@dominickjvlogsthere is no evidence of mass rape. Zero. Stop lying.
@@dominickjvlogsand your source is...."Trust me dude...I know"
@@dominickjvlogsnot to mention the fact that they beheaded BABIES!!
Reporter trying as hard as possible to make him say something bad about Hamas.
She tried her best to get a word of blame Against Hamas. Its Unfortunate for her she failed.
She is really pushing for him to speak bad about them . The truth is the truth lady !!!
Her audacity and arrogance are unbearable, she tried harder and harder to confuse him, Thanks Sir for talking rightly ❤ Free Palestine from occupation
This is the most shameful excuse for journalism that I've ever seen in my life. What a complete and utter joke. Bravo to the doctor for not falling into her disgusting traps.
Why is the man who successfully negotiated the release of his people's hostages be interrogated like he is in court? 🤦♂
Wow! This man is amazing and respectful! He truly understands the suffering of Palestinians.
The reporter is trying her best to make him speak against Hamas, but my boi hard. ❤️
39 lifes were murdered but we don't know where and How.
He speaks from his heart and not manipulation pawns like the said journalist
They were killed by Hamas in Israel- some hacked to death and their bodies were sent to their families in Thailand. He knows. No way the bodies would be sent without a postpartum report and notifying their families how they died.
Even Piers Morgan were shocked by her questions 😮😮😮
😂😂😂
Sky news want something bad come out of the guys mouth but he's not stupid
Sky news is biased
The Thai hostages are telling a different story.

Stop being a 🤡
It looks like the woman is interrogating the Thai😅
This man is a Hamas sympathizer and a certifiable terrorist. They did something similar in Thailand, poor Thai Buddhists.
This is a man with principles, compassion on the highest level. Western journalists need to wake up about the fact war didn't start on October 7 th. Hamas is a resistance group if there is no oppression, genocides there will be no need for resistance. To understand a problem one needs to address the cause of the problem before the consequences.
This guy know it well and been through... Thai government used to cracked down in on Muslims in southern Thailand but I think they are ok now.
genocides?look at their growing stats ser!arab population in so called occupied territory is indeed growing
He is brave, logic and having good heart so he can see the truth.
I am surprised they still aired this interview 🤣
The most honest man seen so far in the media.
What is this women trying to get from this man. He is not saying what she wants 🤣
“The Israeli hostages were kept together the whole time, they were not subjected to torture or any ill-treatment. Food was scarce but Hamas did try to provide any medications necessary”.
-Alon Ben-David, Senior Israeli defense correspondent.
When did he say this? I missed it. I thought they were and are in small groups all over Gaza, which is why I couldn't comprehend Israel's apparent carpet bombing ( it LOOKED like). They must know where the hostages are then. Many mysteries and oddities. Some say ose journalist only has seen the film of the atrocities carried out on Oct 7th. Who? True or false? Were babies decapitate? True or false. Various reports claim (and quite reliable outlets at that) that Israeli soldiers fired indiscriminately into homes/buildings to kill the terrorists, but in doing so, killed their own. True or false?
"12 year old boy was forced to watch videos of the october 7th attack on repeat and was threatened with a rifle if he cried" - families of the hostages
So, why is the elderly lady on life support in the ICU fighting for her life? Why did she not receive her medication sent via the red Cross?
The little boy was forced to watch gopro footage of the October 7th massacre and was beaten when he cried.
He say this as there are still hostages being held by Hamas.
@@user-rh6ru5oz2oif they cared so much about the hostages they wouldn’t bomb the places where hostages were held...let alone speak in their favor
So basically the journalist isnt happy with the release of hostages. Instead of celebrating an achievement she twists his words to be a hamas sympathisers.
Oh dear, not really what Israel wanted to hear is it. Doesn’t seem to be going according to plan.
if sky news is so concern of who is funding Hamas i would like them to question Israeli and Benjamin Netanyahu who was found complicit in sending special conveys that contains bags of money to Hamas and to end this in a better note i would like to quote the exact word of Finance Minister of Israel “The Palestinian Authority is a burden, and Hamas is an asset,” Bezalel Smotric
HEY, THOSE SUITCASES FULL OF MONEY WAS FOR HUMANITARIAN AID ..... /s
From all this interview, the title of the article published by SkyNews was "Thai hostage negotiator thanks Iran for support - and says Hamas justified in taking captives", and they added a FAKE image of a Hamas member pointing a gun to Thai hostages even thought they said they were treated well, + on the image they put the logo of the military wing of Hamas as if it was shared by them (which never happened) and the logo screams fake; in all their videos the logo was at the top and left, but in the fake image of skynews they put it at the bottom
Sky news is disgusting, no surprise.
Thais are such good people. Polite and with a good heart. An example for the whole world who's in a race to the bottom
his replies are excellent he is so right!!
Just compare the footage of the way Israeli hostages are released and the way Palestinian prisoners are released. It is not that difficult to differentiate the behaviour of two parties. One 79 year old Israeli hostage looked back and shook hands with Hamas, the kidnapper. Interesting. Isn’t it?
They were told to wave back.
Lol they are clearly forced who knows what hamas told them throught their captivity

What an upstanding man 👏🏾 It's almost like he's the only journalist there
Bad day at the office for the journalist.
The interviewer was not objective in her interview. She was beyond biased. Yet the truth remained clear throughout the interview the Palestinians are occupied and Israel is the Occupier
Ooops!, that didn't go the way that Sky News and this particular interviewer wanted... lolol
More an investigation than an interview.
Disgraceful reporter! Came in to room with only one question and how to spin the same question in 20 different ways.
Interviewer went from discussing the release of thai hostages to immediately questionning the thai negotiator whether he sympathises with Hamas... what a joke of an interviewer
What an annoying ,terrible journalist. Watching her giving him trap questions absolutely got on my nerves.she is so biased. Disgraceful. Thankfully the man answered very well
She should be fired for these bias line of questioning. This is extremely poor interviewing with no integrity.
She is trying so hard to twist his words to say hamas is a killer lol
She’s is trying so hard for him to say something negative
Her questions are spot on. They are simple questions, and he is not giving straight answers.
@@DEVRIMCI2007shes literally pushing a narrative, this is nowhere near journalistic integrity, i studied journalism, this is just an attempt to push propaganda
@DEVRIMCI2007 sure ok zionist keep drinking that kool-aid
But they are, they displayed it to the entire world and have said they would do it again. There is no plot twist.
I love this man.👍👍👍
SMART answers!👌
In her feeble mind, she thought the man was answering the questions according to how she intended.
Disgusting questions debunked by astonishing answers!
What absolutely horrible reporting omg, she’s clearly trying desperately to frame this interview by pushing her narrative. 101 do t try to be part of the story.
It's the truth she speaks of. He is lying. He's protecting Islamic extremists out of fear. Made a deal with the devil.
This guy is obvious supporter of terrorists.
Thai guy. Honest
No.
I have so much respect for this man. And this women is a disgrace to journalism
Can this reporter be any more biased. Great job from the Thai brother on speaking the truth.
So interesting hearing a completely different perspective. Excellent questions.
They where statements not questions
She’s trying so hard.. lol
Mission successfully failed, somehow she ended up humanizing the Islamic resistance more😅
The interviewer never ask who gives the Thais permission to work on disputed territory under International Law or Military Borders? The Thai workers are not informed or they don't do their own research and just follow their Israeli employers? What I see is Israeli government intentionally put Internationals there as decoys.
I have families and friends from Thailand that work in Israel...they know how Israel treated Palestinians so this guys know it all too well
So why work on Israel ?
@@raymonreynoso8005 i guess our stupid government gave free 3.8 billions every year to Israel so they can go work there...some of those money are my tax money
Is that why there are many Muslim doctors and judges, that live better lives in Israel.

"Between 2008 and 2013, a total of 122 Thai workers died in Israel, according to figures provided by Israeli Health Minister Yael German to Israeli daily Ha'aretz.
Out of the 122 dead, 43 died from "sudden nocturnal death syndrome", a mysterious death during the night while sleeping, according to an HRW report.
Such deaths, according to Phil Robertson, deputy director of the Asian division of HRW, have never been investigated by Thai or Israeli governments. In an interview, Robertson said 173 Thai workers interviewed by non-governmental organisation Kav LaOved had complained of long hours, being paid below the minimum wage, and not receiving proper equipment to protect themselves from the use of pesticides"
The interviewer lady is burning from unswears ,she is trying to provoke the guy to stop telling the truth about ham and how they treated hostages but the guy does not give a dam 😂 and keep pissing her off
MENGGELIKAN, REPORTER INI DAN BESERTA SELURUH MEDIA BARAT INI MENGGELIKAN 😂.
APA YG KALIAN PAKSAAN DENGAN JAWABAN JAWABAN YG SUDAH DISAMPAIKAN PRIA INI??!!
The interviewer got the answers she didn't want to hear. She tried hard but this man dominated her with the truth.
Next time she interview IDF I doubt she will ask them how many innocent Palastian civilians have been killed. She not a journalist but a propagandists.
what i see reporter try hard to make this good man say bad thing aboutpaletine fighter, this man know palestine pain for 75 year
this reporter got to ask israel about 80 years of oppresson
News lady hoped to use this interview as an excuse to spread propaganda, unfortunatelly for her the interview was very different from what she had planned😂
Let’s give Sky SOME credit for actually broadcasting this, although it didn’t fit their narrative. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Absolutely... At least they broadcasted the interview without trying to censor its content... But, who knows... They may delete it if the !zr@el lobby asks them to
They had to. They need the views. Views are money!
Bad host trying very hard to impost her views and opinion on Dr Lerpong
The way she was conducting interview was very clear and distateful. She clearly was driving the narrative through her lines of questions...it doesn't take a genius to understand what she was doing there...
Wow this man won the heart of people just by answering the questions
Why don't Arab and Muslim leaders talk like this.. why are we so weak and procumbents
15000 Palestinians were killed. What is the exchange rate for human life these days?
Incredible truthful interview...he has empathy and well educated
the bait : '39 Thais were killed BY Hamas'
the answert : '39 were indeed killed'
this guy is smart he didnt fall for the interviewers narrative and choose his words wisely without condemning Hamas the way she wants him to be
Smart Narcissistic Blame Shifting
Look at how desperate she was..
Sky news please REPLACE her with someone pretier or younger or smarter
This is why he’s a hostage situation negotiator and she’s… working for sky news 🥴
Not allowed to speak for 48 hrs hmm I wonder why
She tried so hard...
Zionist will rage if they saw this interview 😂😂
This is not the only person who said that the hostages were treated well, even in the israeli media they said that the ISRAELI hostages (not only the Thai, to answer her question) were treated well but idk why the western media is trying so hard to distort the truth !! Alon Ben-David, the senior defence correspondent for Israel's Channel 13, spoke of the treatment of captives by Hamas.
"Hamas tried to provide the required medications every day. But there were days when medicine was provided and others without," he said during a televised news segment.
He added that food was scarce, and all the captives had noticeably lost weight. (and that's obviously because their beloved Zionist state is starving 2 million people)
"The majority of hostages were together, holding meetings and lectures, sharing stories. Their activities and being together gave them strength to survive those underground conditions," added Ben-David.
"All the hostages were together, speaking of good conditions and treatment by the Hamas men. In addition to the medication, they were NOT subjected to violent treatment or torture."
He said that the released hostages spoke to the families of other hostages, stating that their family members were "fine and alive".
According to Haaretz, some of the captives followed Israeli media and were informed about ongoing events. One nine-year-old hostage, Ohad Munder, heard birthday greetings for him on Israeli TV.
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) - An Israeli hostage freed by Hamas said in an interview that she was initially fed well in captivity until conditions worsened and people became hungry. She was kept in a “suffocating” room and slept on plastic chairs with a sheet for nearly 50 days.
Also, if Israeli hostages who came back have any trauma, then they weren’t treated well.
Funny interview, she couldn't take no for a answer
A respectful man
A biased interviewer
😂 sky news asking the hostages to condemn Hamas! When will people understand the truth?
Oh my goodness cross interrogating someone like this who didn't do anything wrong. This is so bad media please don't publish your political interests we just want to hear the news we can make up our own minds.
Lynch should remember Deir Yassin, a massacre perpetrated by Jewish fighters without provocation. Deir Yassin and others massacres suffered by the Palestinians.
Woke SKY NEWS as always
Low quality journalism.
brilliant interview
just so we are clear - I said brilliant because he answered truthfully and disarmed the implied bias .all people should answer like that.
