Thailand's Prime Minister, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, was dismissed by the Constitutional Court due to a leaked phone call with Cambodia's leader. The call, intended to ease border tensions, caused outrage in Thailand because of Paetongtarn's perceived friendliness and criticism of a Thai general. This occurred after a border clash resulted in deaths and displacement. The ruling leaves Paetongtarn's coalition with a fragile majority and is a setback for her father, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's political influence.
