Israel in row with South Korean leader over Palestinian abuse concerns
"The video, verified by Al Jazeera, shows Israeli soldiers pushing an apparently lifeless Palestinian man from a rooftop in the occupied West Bank town of Qabatiya in September 2024. One soldier appears to kick a body before it falls."
"The Palestinian ministry of foreign affairs said it was a crime that exposes the Israeli army's brutality. Under international law, armed forces must treat the dead with dignity."
"Data from Action on Armed Violence shows that Israel has closed 88 per cent of investigations into abuses by its forces in Gaza and the occupied West Bank without charges or findings of wrongdoing."
"President Lee Jae Myung, for some strange reason, chose to dig up a story from 2024, a ministry statement on Saturday said, accusing those sharing the footage of spreading anti-Israeli news."
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung expressed disappointment over Israel's lack of reflection on global criticisms. He shared a video showing Israeli soldiers abusing Palestinians, which provoked Israeli anger. The video, verified by Al Jazeera, depicts soldiers pushing a lifeless Palestinian man from a rooftop. The Palestinian foreign ministry condemned the incident as a crime. Israel's foreign ministry stated the case was investigated but provided no details on accountability. Data indicates that a significant percentage of investigations into Israeli abuses remain unresolved, highlighting a lack of accountability for such actions.
