South Korea's President Condemns Israel Over Palestinian Abuse Video, Sparking Diplomatic Row

Saturday, 11 April 2026, 11:26 · 1 min read

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has publicly clashed with Israel after sharing a verified video showing Israeli soldiers pushing Palestinians from a rooftop in the occupied West Bank, calling it "disappointing" that Israel refuses to reflect on widespread international criticism over its treatment of Palestinians. Israel's foreign ministry fired back, accusing Lee of reviving an old story for unclear reasons and dismissing the footage as "anti-Israeli" content, while claiming the incident had already been "investigated and addressed" without providing details on any accountability measures. The dispute highlights growing global scrutiny of Israel's conduct in the occupied territories, underscored by data showing that nearly 90 percent of investigations into Israeli military abuses are closed without charges or findings of wrongdoing.
