Thai court suspends Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra over a leaked phone call
The judges voted unanimously Tuesday to take the petition accusing her of a breach of ethics, and voted 7 to 2 to suspend her from duty.
Paetongtarn has faced growing dissatisfaction over her handling of the latest border dispute with Cambodia, involving an armed confrontation on May 28 in which one Cambodian soldier was killed. The leaked phone call while she engaged in diplomacy over the border dispute set off a string of complaints and public protests.

Miss Indonesia contestant removed from pageant after pro-Israel video
JAKARTA: A Miss Indonesia contestant has been removed from the pageant after a video showing her waving the Israeli flag went viral, sparking backlash in a country that has long stood in solidarity with Palestine. Merince Kogoya, who was set to represent the province of Highland Papua at the Miss Indonesia finals on July 9, was dropped from the competition last week after the video from May 2023 gained traction on social media. The clip, which shows Kogoya dancing with the Israeli flag, sparked outrage among Indonesians and prompted pageant organizers to quietly remove Kogoya from the competition. She was replaced with Karmen Anastasya, a runner-up from the same province. On Monday, Kogoya posted on Instagram — where her bio reads 'I stand with Israel' — that she was replaced due to 'public comments,' referring to the backlash she faced. 'My two-year-old video reel was widely shared with various misinterpretations about my beliefs,' she wrote. 'I am also conveying my apology to the Highland Papua family, I have tried to give my best but the fact is that @missindonesia's decision was taken based on comments that were not in line with my beliefs.' Kogoya did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Arab News. Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous country, has long been a staunch supporter of Palestine, as its people and government see Palestinian statehood as mandated by their own constitution, which calls for the abolition of colonialism. The Southeast Asian nation has no diplomatic relations with Israel, and the Indonesian government has repeatedly called for an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories and for a two-state solution based on pre-1967 borders. Hundreds and thousands of Indonesians across the country have rallied in solidarity with Palestine since the beginning of Israel's onslaught on Gaza in October 2023, while they also take part in mass boycotts of products and companies linked to Israel. To date, Israel has killed more than 56,000 Palestinians and wounded over 133,000 others. The true death toll is feared to be much higher, with research published in The Lancet medical journal in January estimated an underreporting of deaths by 41 percent. The study also takes into account the possibility of a higher death toll, as it does not include deaths caused by starvation, injury and lack of access to healthcare, caused by Israeli forces' destruction of most of Gaza's infrastructure and the blocking of medical and food aid.

Thai prime minister suspended over leaked phone call
BANGKOK — Thailand's Constitutional Court has suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who has come under mounting pressure to resign over her leaked phone conversation with former Cambodian leader Hun Sen. The clip, in which Paetongtarn called him "uncle" and criticised a Thai military commander, sparked public anger and a petition for her dismissal, which the court is now considering. That could make Paetongtarn the third politician in the powerful Shinawatra clan - which has dominated Thai politics for the past two decades - to lose power before completing their term. Her ruling coalition is already teetering with a slim majority after a key conservative ally abandoned it two weeks ago. The Constitutional Court voted 7-2 to suspend her while they consider the case for her dismissal and she has 15 days to present her defence. In the meantime the deputy PM will serve as the country's acting leader. Paetongtarn, however, will remain in the cabinet as culture minister, a new appointment following a cabinet reshuffle that was endorsed hours before she was suspended. On Tuesday, Paetongtarn apologised again, adding that the purpose of her phone call with Hun Sen was "more than 100%... for the country". The call was about the border dispute between the two countries - although it's decades old, tensions have risen again since late May when a Cambodian soldier was killed. The leaked audio especially angered conservative lawmakers who accused her of appeasing Hun Sen and undermining Thailand's military. But she defended herself on Tuesday, saying, "I had no intent to do it for my own interest. I only thought about how to avoid chaos, avoid fighting and to avoid loss of lives. "If you listened to it carefully, you'd understand that I didn't have ill intentions. This is what I'll focus and spend time on explaining thoroughly." If she is eventually dismissed, Paetongtarn will be the second prime minister from the Pheu Thai party to be removed from premiership since August last year. At that time, her predecessor Srettha Thavisin was dismissed, also by the constitutional court, for appointing to his cabinet a former lawyer who was once jailed. Days later, Paetongtarn - whose father is Thailand's deposed leader Thaksin Shinawatra - was sworn in as prime minister. Tuesday's decision once again underscores the constitutional court's power to unmake governments, which critics say can be weaponised to target political opponents. This court has dissolved 34 parties since 2006, including the reformist Move Forward, which won the most seats and votes in the 2023 election but was blocked from forming the government. "This has become a pattern in Thai politics... a part of the Thai political culture, which is not what a true political process is supposed to be," said Titipol Phakdeewanich, a political science lecturer at Ubon Ratchathani University. "The suspension by court order shouldn't have happened but most people could see its legitimacy because the leaked conversation really made people question if the PM was genuinely defending the interest of the country." Paetongtarn, 38, remains the country's youngest leader and only the second woman to be PM after her aunt, Yingluck Shinawatra. Already struggling to revive a weak economy, Paetongtarn saw her approval rating fall to 9.2% last weekend, down from 30.9% in March. The court's decision comes on the same day as Paetongtarn's father, who was seen as the driving force behind her government, battles his own political troubles. Thaksin is fighting charges of insulting the monarchy over an interview he gave to a South Korean newspaper nine years ago. His trial started on controversial political leader, who returned to Thailand in 2023 after 15 years in exile, is the most high-profile figure to face charges under the country's notorious lese majeste return was part of a grand compromise between Pheu Thai and its former conservative include the military, which deposed two Shinawatra governments in coups, and groups close to the monarchy. — BBC

Manila's negotiator to China takes oath as Philippines' new top diplomat
MANILA: President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has sworn in Theresa Lazaro, a veteran diplomat who previously led Philippine negotiations with China, as the country's new foreign affairs secretary. Lazaro took her oath on Tuesday at the presidential palace in Manila where she was also conferred with the Order of Sikatuna, a national honor of diplomatic merit, 'in recognition of her leadership and vital contributions' to Philippine foreign policy and diplomacy, Marcos' office said in a statement. 'The president underscored Lazaro's pivotal role in advancing Philippine interests in critical foreign policy issues, including maritime security, regional peace and stability, and multilateral cooperation under the ASEAN Political-Security Pillar,' it said. 'The president also recognized her leadership in establishing and revitalizing diplomatic mechanisms with traditional and emerging partners.' Lazaro served as undersecretary for bilateral relations and Association of Southeast Asian Nations affairs under her predecessor, Enrique Manalo, who will return to his role as the Philippines' permanent representative to the UN in New York. Her appointment was first announced in late May, a day after Marcos asked his cabinet members to resign as he attempted to address the people's dissatisfaction over his administration's performance and improve the quality of public service. The president has since retained some and replaced others, including the national police chief, solicitor general and foreign secretary positions. Lazaro, whose career in foreign service began in 1984, had also served as the Philippine ambassador to France and Monaco, as well as Switzerland. She is now the second woman to lead the Philippines' Department of Foreign Affairs after Delia Domingo Albert in 2003. As the foreign affairs undersecretary, Lazaro led the Philippines' negotiations with China last year over the Ayungin Shoal, also known as the Second Thomas Shoal. Between 2023 and 2024, the area in the disputed South China Sea was a flashpoint where clashes often occurred between the Philippines' navy personnel and the Chinese coast guard. Under Lazaro, the two countries reached a 'provisional understanding' in July 2024 that has since kept Philippines' resupply missions to the shoal peaceful. 'The added bonus here is that incoming Secretary Lazaro's experience being front and center in the bilateral consultative mechanisms with Beijing gives her that expertise in dealing with the Chinese. And of course, that will come in handy in future negotiations as well,' geopolitical analyst Don McLain Gill told Arab News. He added he did not expect her appointment to mark a shift in Philippine foreign policy, rather a continuity of the efforts that Marcos' administration has been pursuing, with the Indo-Pacific and the Middle East regions as 'priority areas.' 'The Indo-Pacific's Western Pacific and the Middle East, particularly the West Asia, North Africa sub-regions … these are very important and will continue to become very important,' he said.
