Thailand Accuses Cambodia of 'Serious Violation' of Truce
Thailand accused Cambodia on Wednesday of committing a "serious violation" of the ceasefire agreement reached between the two sides to halt border fighting, asserting that Cambodian forces "launched a nighttime attack with small arms and grenades."
The Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement: "This represents a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement," adding that "this aggressive act constitutes yet another clear violation of the ceasefire agreement by Cambodian forces and demonstrates their lack of good faith."
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced on Monday that, following negotiations in Kuala Lumpur, Thailand and Cambodia had agreed to a ceasefire, which will take effect at midnight local time. At the same time, the two sides discussed other steps to de-escalate the border conflict.
Clashes erupted between the two sides for five days over several ancient temples in disputed areas along their 800-kilometer border.
Relations between the two countries deteriorated sharply following clashes on May 28 along a disputed section of the border, in which a Cambodian soldier was killed.

Slovenia Announces Ban on Arms Trade with Israel
Ljubljana - Saba: Slovenia announced Thursday evening that it will ban all arms-related trade with Israel due to the war on the Gaza Strip, a move described as the first of its kind by a European Union country. A statement issued by Prime Minister Robert Golube's office confirmed the decision, which he initiated during a government session held earlier Thursday. Under the new decision, all weapons and military equipment sent from Slovenia to, imported from, or transited through Israel are prohibited. This move comes amid growing criticism of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and as a result of the European Union's inability to take concrete action regarding Israel. The statement added: "Due to internal disagreements and divisions, the European Union is currently unable to fulfill this task." Earlier Thursday, the Slovenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Israeli ambassador to protest the dire humanitarian catastrophe caused by the restrictions on urgent humanitarian aid access to Gaza.

Slovenia summons Israeli ambassador to protest humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza
Ljubljana – Saba: The Slovenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the accredited Israeli ambassador on Thursday to protest the severe humanitarian catastrophe resulting from restrictions on urgent aid delivery to the Gaza Strip. In a post on its official X (formerly Twitter) account, the Slovenian Foreign Ministry announced that it had summoned the newly appointed Israeli ambassador to Ljubljana, Ruth Cohen Dar, to the ministry. The ministry stated: "The Slovenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has taken a diplomatic initiative by summoning the Israeli ambassador accredited to Slovenia to protest the severe humanitarian catastrophe caused by restrictions on the delivery of urgent humanitarian aid to Gaza." Slovenia also called on Israel to immediately halt the killing and starvation of civilians. Palestinians in Gaza are facing an unprecedented wave of hunger since the Israeli occupation forces closed the strip's crossings in early March, imposing strict restrictions on the entry of food, relief supplies, fuel, and medicine. Over time, Gaza's residents have exhausted all food resources, leaving shops empty and making it nearly impossible to find a loaf of bread. Meanwhile, available goods have seen a dramatic surge in prices, turning "death by starvation" into one of the leading causes of death in the strip. With American and European support, the Israeli occupation army has continued to commit genocidal crimes in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of 60,249 Palestinian civilians, most of them children and women, and injuring 147,089 others—figures that are not yet final, as thousands remain trapped under rubble or in streets inaccessible to rescue teams.
