South Korea’s president hits back at Israel in row over ‘disturbing’ video

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung criticized Israel on Saturday for allegedly failing to address human rights abuse allegations against its forces. This follows a dispute sparked by Lee's response to a social media video purportedly showing Israeli soldiers mistreating a Palestinian child. Lee stated he needed to investigate the video's authenticity and any subsequent actions taken, prompting a rebuke from Israel's foreign ministry, who accused him of promoting disinformation. The Israeli ministry had earlier expressed concern over Lee's comments on the video. The incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its portrayal on social media.
