Tel Aviv criticizes South Korean president for sharing video of Palestinian child allegedly abused by Israeli soldiers
Lee defended the post as a human-rights appeal after Israel called it disinformation, and South Korea said the video came from 2024.
- South Korean President Lee Jae Myung shared a video on Twitter on Friday depicting alleged abuse of a Palestinian by Israeli soldiers, prompting Israel's foreign ministry to accuse him of amplifying "disinformation."
- The footage depicts an incident from 2024 in the West Bank town of Qabatiya rather than a current event, contradicting the caption initially shared by the president.
- Defending Lee on Saturday, South Korea's foreign ministry stated his comments were a call to "universal human rights rather than an opinion on any specific issue" regarding alleged abuses.
- Rep. Song Eon-seog of the main opposition People Power Party criticized Lee's actions as inappropriate, questioning whether the move abandoned South Korea's neutral stance on the Middle East conflict.
- Lee doubled down on Saturday, responding to criticism by stating, "It's disappointing that you don't even once reflect" on global concerns regarding Israel's actions toward Palestinians and international law.
