Thailand-Cambodia Fighting Forces Thousands to Flee
Living just two miles from an ancient temple that is claimed by both Cambodia and Thailand, Lamun Faithet is no stranger to being on the front lines of conflict. She knows the routine well. In the event of an attack, she would go to the bunker in her village in the Thai province of Surin. The village chief would be the emergency warning system. That was how it worked in 2011, when she was forced to flee during another bloody clash between Cambodia and Thailand. But this time things feel different. Ms. Lamun, 68, is now one of more than 131,000 people in Thailand who have had to evacuate their homes. She has spent the past four days at a university campus in Surin, where a makeshift evacuation site has been set up. Ms. Lamun said her house was the closest one in Surin to Prasat Ta Muen Thom, the temple where Cambodian and Thai troops first exchanged gunfire on Thursday. (Thais call the temple Prasat Ta Muen Thom, while Cambodians call it Prasat Ta Moan Thom.) For the first time ever, Ms. Lamun said, she was considering moving out of her home permanently. 'I thought everything was settled then,' she said, speaking of the previous conflict, which lasted from 2008 to 2011. 'I didn't think it would happen a second time.' In recent days, Cambodia and Thai forces have been fighting each other in one of the deadliest border clashes ever between the two Southeast Asian neighbors. Since Thursday's attacks, at least 34 people have died. In Cambodia, 35,000 people have fled their homes. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Trump unloads in late-night rants threatening to prosecute news networks, Beyonce, Oprah and Kamala Harris
Despite the lateness of the hour in Scotland, Donald Trump remained vocal on social media Saturday, unleashing a late-night rant in which he threatened to prosecute Kamala Harris, Oprah Winfrey and Beyonce while lashing out at news networks whose 'licenses could, and should, be revoked.' The president, who is spending the weekend golfing in the UK, wrote at 7.45 p.m. ET (12.45 a.m. local BST) that he was reviewing the large amount of money spent by his Democratic opponents 'probably illegally' during the 2024 election. Trump claimed Beyonce was paid $11 million to endorse Harris, and that she 'never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!' He also claimed that Democrats paid $3 million in 'expenses' to Oprah and $600,000 to civil rights activist and TV personality Reverend Al Sharpton. There is no evidence that any of the people named in Trump's rant were paid for their endorsement by the Democratic campaign. 'YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO,' the president wrote in a Truth Social post. 'Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out!' 'Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted!' he added. Oprah previously said she 'was not paid a dime' to appear alongside Harris, whose campaign covered $1 million in production costs for a live-streamed event. 'The people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were. End of story,' Oprah said at the time. The Harris campaign also has denied ever paying Beyonce for her endorsement. The campaign similarly paid her production company Parkwood Production Media LLC $165,000, according to Federal Elections Commission records. Beyonce's mother Tina Knowles previously said the accusation that her daughter was paid for her endorsement is a 'lie' and that Beyonce also paid for the flights for herself and her team to and from the event. It's not the first time that Trump has targeted Beyonce and other celebrities over their alleged 'illegal campaign donations' late at night. The president lashed out at the Lemonade singer as well as Bruce Springsteen and Bono in a 2 a.m. Truth Social post on May 19. In another pair of posts shortly after 1 a.m. while still in Scotland, Trump threatened NBC and ABC, and suggested that networks he believes are 'political pawns for the Democrat Party' should be stripped of their licenses to broadcast. 'It has become so outrageous that, in my opinion, their licenses could, and should, be revoked! MAGA,' he wrote Trump has also routinely used threats of legal action to threaten media outlets, publishers and journalists over what he perceives as antagonistic coverage. Following lawsuits against the networks during his campaign, Trump reached massive financial settlements with both ABC News and CBS News, sparking fears among press freedom advocates. Such fears have not been allayed, after the president this week filed a $10 billion lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch, The Wall Street Journal and its parent companies, as well as two journalists, following the newspaper's publication of the president's alleged birthday letter to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. That suit came fresh of the back of a $16 million settlement with Paramount for a lawsuit concerning the editing of an episode of 60 Minutes interview with Harris, which the president claimed was unfair to his campaign.

Israel Seizes Aid Flotilla Bringing Baby Formula, Medicine to Gaza
A civilian ship carrying aid to Palestinians in Gaza was intercepted by the Israeli military in international waters on Saturday, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition confirmed. The Handala flotilla was carrying baby formula, diapers, food, and medicine. The passengers were detained and the cargo was seized. The coalition said the boat was intercepted 'in international waters outside Palestinian territorial waters off Gaza, in violation of international maritime law.' 'Israel has no legal authority to detain international civilians aboard the Handala,' Ann Wright, a member of the Freedom Flotilla's steering committee, said in a statement. 'This is not a matter of internal Israeli jurisdiction. These are foreign nationals operating under international law in international waters. Their detention is arbitrary, unlawful, and must end.' This week, the United Nations' World Food Program said the famine in Gaza has reached 'new and astonishing levels of desperation, with a third of the population not eating for multiple days in a row.' According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, there have been 40 hunger-related deaths this month. More than 100 aid agencies and rights groups have warned of a 'mass starvation' across Gaza. 'There is no one in Gaza now outside the scope of famine, not even myself,' Dr. Ahmed al-Farra, who leads the pediatric ward at Nasser Hospital in Gaza, told The New York Times. 'I am speaking to you as a health official, but I, too, am searching for flour to feed my family.' There were 21 civilians from 12 countries on the flotilla, including Christian Smalls, the former president of the Amazon Labor Union; European Union Parliament member Emma Fourreau; human rights attorney Huwaida Arraf; and two Al Jazeera journalists. The crew members said they would go on hunger strike if they were to be abducted. 'Israeli officials have ignored the International Court of Justice's binding orders that require the facilitation of humanitarian access to Gaza,' the Freedom Flotilla Coalition said in a statement. 'The continued attacks on peaceful civilian missions represent a grave violation of international law.' Arraf was among a group of activists who sought to travel on an aid flotilla to Gaza last spring, when the population was already considered to be at imminent risk of famine. 'We can't sit by and let it happen,' Arraf told Rolling Stone at the time. 'People have been marching in the millions around the world, and still our governments are not listening to the people. And so we're taking that protest to the sea and we're directly challenging Israel's closure policy — the siege, the blockade, which are unlawful.' During that attempt, Turkish port authorities blocked the ships from leaving. Since the deadly Hamas-led attacks in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, Israel has led a brutal siege on Gaza and a near-total blockade. Israel has tightly restricted the flow of humanitarian aid, arguing that Hamas had been stealing aid provided through the U.N. According to a Times report on Saturday, military officials admitted that Israel had no proof for such claims. The U.S. Agency for International Development, the foreign aid bureau shuttered by President Donald Trump's administration, similarly found no evidence that Hamas was regularly stealing assistance to Gaza, according to ABC News. In recent months, Israel has been accused, in several instances, of indiscriminately firing on Gazans attempting to get food at operations run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a recently created aid group backed by Israel and the Trump administration. Israel's military said Saturday it would begin airdropping aid into Gaza and implementing humanitarian pauses for the delivery of aid this weekend. However, the Israeli military has killed more than 1,000 people trying to get food since May, mainly near aid sites, according to the United Nations. 'This is a deliberate and human-made disaster,' Joseph Belliveau, executive director of MedGlobal, a charity working in Gaza, told NPR. 'Those children died because there is not enough food in Gaza and not enough medicines, including IV fluids and therapeutic formula, to revive them.' In June, the Israeli military intercepted another humanitarian aid ship from the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. Among those captured were climate activist Greta Thunberg and European Parliament member Rima Hassan. Thunberg was deported the next day. Hassan spent three days in Israeli custody, including time in solitary confinement. 'Over the years, Israel has tried various methods to stop us,' Arraf, the human rights attorney, told Democracy Now on Friday. 'It has been very violent, from attacking, beating, abducting, arresting, jailing and even killing our volunteers. In 2010, a flotilla that… I was on, Israel killed 10 of our volunteers. But that did not stop us. And it's not going to stop us now.'
