North Korea has accused Israel of committing what it describes as 'terrorist acts against Lebanon' in response to Israeli strikes targeting Hezbollah operatives within the country. The North Korean state media quoted a foreign ministry spokesperson on Tuesday, who condemned Israel's actions as 'massacre, terrorism, and assassination' under the guise of 'self-defense' and 'security.'
The spokesperson went on to criticize Israel for what they called 'brutality and shamelessness,' claiming that these actions have stirred up significant animosity from the international community. The spokesperson labeled Israel's actions as 'hideous war crimes' and 'unethical crimes,' particularly highlighting civilian casualties resulting from what they described as 'indiscriminate military attacks and terrorist acts against Lebanon.'
Furthermore, the North Korean official characterized Israel and the United States as 'cancer-like entities' that threaten regional peace and stability, branding them as the 'common enemy of the Arab people.' The spokesperson strongly denounced Israel for allegedly extending its 'large-scale massacre of innocent civilians' across the entire Middle East.
In a show of solidarity, the North Korean government expressed unwavering support for the Arab people in their efforts to defend sovereignty, the right to existence, and territorial integrity. The official reiterated North Korea's stance by condemning Israel's actions and offering solidarity to those affected in the region.
