Episode notes
Ceasefire Between Thailand And Cambodia Frays
- The Thai-Cambodia ceasefire is unraveling as both sides accuse each other of new hostilities around mined borders and detentions.
- Local incidents, evacuations, and suspended demilitarization steps signal rising risk of renewed large-scale clashes.
Gaza Ceasefire Stalled By Security Force Gap
- Trump's Gaza framework stalls because an international security force's role and participants remain unclear, blocking progress to later phases.
- Without that force, plans for Palestinian policing, technocratic governance, and larger Israeli withdrawals cannot proceed.
Expand Aid Routes And Oversight Into Gaza
- Reopen and diversify humanitarian routes into Gaza to reduce bottlenecks and reach hardest-hit areas.
- Shift oversight of aid flow away from unilateral Israeli control toward multilateral coordination to limit intentional throttling.
