Thailand deports French zoo director over anti-Israeli incident

Thailand signed a deportation order against French citizen Kevin Dimino, director of a Koh Samui zoo, after he refused entry to Israeli visitors and was convicted of harassment, physical violence, and incitement to division on racial and religious grounds. The deportation follows a prior incident involving an Israeli confrontation, and Dimino retains the right to appeal. This marks a notable legal enforcement action in Thailand's tourism-dependent southern region, signaling a firm stance on public order and discrimination.
