There's no causative relationship. There is a correlation in some studies. This is not the same thing. Beyond that, some studies have found a very weak association and some have found no association at all. To say with this corpus of evidence they cause anything is very premature.

This 2024 study showed no increase in risk over 3.9 years.

To be fair, GLP-1 drugs cause dose-dependent increase in thyroid cancer in mice. But mice are not humans.
