Possible peace talks progress, Israel approves new land grabs

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on June 2, 2023. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.

On May 15, 2023, there was a clear winner in Thailand’s election – the Move Forward party came through with three times the vote of the leading government party. The people of Thailand, led by the youth, came out in a move against the ruling elite. But to claim power, Move Forward must also win a vote in Thailand’s senate, appointed by the military. Now that Thailand has voted for change, will the country have the opportunity to see it through?
