On Tuesday, the Constitutional Court of Thailand arrested Paitongtarn Shinawatra, pending ethics in a phone call leaked last month between Paetongtarn and former Cambodian leader Hun Sen. The court also ruled in a 7-2 vote to comment Paetongtarn immediately from his post until a ruling is issued.

Paetongtarn has 15 days to provide evidence to support her case. Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister, Syria, will take over the responsibility.

The phone call took place in the midst of the controversy amid a constant struggle between Thailand and Cambodia. The clash began on May 28, when an armed confrontation along the common border was killed as a Cambodian soldier; Both other sides were accused of inciting the battle of fire. In response, Cambodia boycotted Thai films and films. Fruits and vegetables; Electricity and fuel. And some Internet services. Meanwhile, Thailand has increased the restrictions imposed on border crossings and issued measures targeting online fraud in the neighboring country.

After weeks of reprisal measures against the girl, Paetongtarn made a 17 -minute phone call with Hun Sen to discuss the behavior methods. Hun Sen later posted a registration for the full conversation on his Facebook page after publishing a shorter version online, on the pretext that this procedure was necessary to “avoid any misunderstanding or distortion in official matters.”

In registration, Paetongtarn can be heard by Hun Sen “Uncle” and referring to a Thai regional leader as a “discount.” Hun Sen is a friend of a long time to the father of Bittennonghane, former Prime Minister Thaxin Shinwatra, who faces his criminal charges for criticizing the Thai royal family.

Paetongtarn confirms that its confirmed accent towards Hun Sen was a negotiation tactic. She said on Tuesday: “I only thought about what to do to avoid problems, and what to do to avoid armed confrontation, so that the soldiers do not suffer from any loss.” But critics argue that its behavior made Thailand appear weak in the face of a potential conflict.

Indeed, the Paetongtarn Party in PHUTAI faced an increasing party as it struggles to Bangkok to revive the slow economy, and as the conservative establishment, which includes the army, warns that the current political family has become very strong. Paetongtarn is the third membership of her family who works as prime minister – and the third to face potential removal before the end period ends.

After the phone call to Paetongtarn with Hun Sen, though, doubt has exacerbated. Bhumjaithai, a main governor ally in its ruling alliance, withdrew from the coalition after the conversation leakage – which led to the PHUTAI party with a small majority. PaEetongtarn approval rated from 30.9 percent in March to 9.2 percent last week. On Tuesday, King Maha Vaglerong Corn supported the ministers ’amendment to try to satisfy the protests at the weekend that calls for the removal of Paetongtarn; Such demonstrations have been the biggest anti -government protests in the country since the Thai PHEU took power in 2023.

However, the role of Paetongtarn in the government is still unclear. In the amendment cabinet, she was appointed Minister of Culture. The Thailand parliament will be held on Thursday to divide it in this role, and you will be able to attend the cabinet meetings in this capacity even with the development of the moral investigation.

What we are following

The opposition is inside the quarter. Foreign ministers of Australia, India, Japan and the United States met in Washington on Tuesday to attend a meeting of the quadruple security dialogue to discuss the Chinese threats of India and the Pacific. They hope to re -focus global attention on East Asia and make advanced steps to diversify their supply chains away from Beijing, which tried to control the decisive metal sector. But the traditionally close coalition struggled to make progress on Tuesday, as internal spending on trade and defense was young.

The huge American definitions were among the main obstacles that prevented the talks, as the United States’ trade war, Donald Trump, spared none of the other quadruple countries. Japan canceled a high-level meeting with US officials last week after Colbly-third called on Pentagon’s civilian official to inform him that Tokyo enhanced its defensive spending from 3 percent to 3.5 percent. India confirms that Trump has not used commercial threats to avoid conflict in India, Pakistan, although the American president claims the opposite.

However, Quartet members are still optimistic that their problems will fall on the side of the road in the face of greater challenges. The Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishhankar on Monday, “Relations will not be free of issues.” “What matters is the ability to deal with it and keep this trend in the positive direction.”

Destroyed cartoon. The Turkish authorities arrested three other employees in the satirical magazine Liem On Tuesday to deploy animation, government officials claim depict the Prophet Muhammad, and thus “publicly insulting religious values.” This brings the total number of people detained to four, with orders from other editors believed to be abroad.

In the photo, two people described the two descriptions of “Muhammad” and “Moses” (meaning Moses), wearing wings and Hallius, in the sky while the scene of the war is revealed under it. Liem I apologize for any crime resulting from the animation, but it confirms that the image was portrayed a fictitious Muslim man called “Muhammad”, not the Prophet, and that he was aiming to shed light on the suffering of Muslims. The magazine also called on the local authorities to protect the right of the publication in freedom of expression, as the police and demonstrators clashed outside the magazine building on Monday.

However, Ankara seems likely to stand against Liem. Turkish President Rippia Tayeb Erdogan said on Tuesday: “The lack of respect that our beloved Prophet has shown by some shameful individuals, free from the values ​​of this nation, ignorance of morals and convenience, is completely unacceptable,” said Turkish President Reibaeb Tayeb Erdogan on Tuesday. “It is an open provocation that is disguised as a humor, a sad work.”

Jewish goals survey. On Tuesday, German authorities warned against Iran, gathering information about the Jewish sites in Berlin to prepare for potential attacks. Last week, local officials detained a Danish citizen identified as Ali S. Regarding the charges that the forces of the Tehran commander – the elite branch of the IRGC Corps (IRGC) – is early this year to collect intelligence information about the Jewish community in Berlin and prominent Jewish individuals.

It is unclear whether collecting intelligence in Ali has led to an attack. An initial investigation in his activities found that he took pictures of at least three buildings, including the headquarters of German -Israeli society and the homeland of Joseph Schuster, head of the Central Council of Jews in Germany. Similar intelligence operations also targeted sites in Germany as well as other European countries, such as Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France and the Netherlands.

The German -Israeli Association called on the European Union to include IRGC as a terrorist organization, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Germany summoned Iranian Ambassador Majid Naili Ahmadi Abadi after the arrest of Ali.

“If these doubts are confirmed, it will be a terrible incident that will once again prove that Iran pose a threat to Jews all over the world,” said German Foreign Minister Johan Wadil. The Iranian embassy in Berlin rejected these allegations that they were “unfounded and dangerous.”
