An anti-Israel rally is planned to take place in Saphan Hin, Phuket, between 4:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. local time. The protest is being organized by PLPG, the 'Phuket Land Protection Group,' one of whose leaders called on social media to distance Israelis living in Thailand or those associated with Chabad from the country. He described Chabad as a 'fundraising center for the Israeli network' and said it should be 'uprooted' from Thailand. In recent months, protests have been held in Bangkok and Phuket amid deteriorating Israel-Thailand relations, stemming in part from local criticism of the behavior of Israeli tourists and business owners in the country, claiming they 'violate local law.'
