Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra was suspended by the constitutional court following a leaked phone call that raised concerns over her ethical standards. The court's vote was 7 to 2 in favor of the suspension, prompted by a petition from 36 senators accusing her of dishonesty. The premier has been criticized for her handling of a border dispute with Cambodia, particularly after a soldier's death in a recent clash. Despite her apologies regarding the leaked call, protests demanding her resignation have taken place. Deputy Prime Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit is anticipated to step in as acting prime minister.
"I only thought about what to do to avoid troubles, what to do to avoid armed confrontation, for the soldiers not to suffer any loss."
"I wouldn't be able to accept it if I said something with the other leader that could lead to negative consequences."
