South Korean President clashes with Israel over 'despicable' video South Korean President Lee Jae Myung clashed with Israel’s foreign ministry after it criticised a social media post in which he shared a 2024 video showing Israeli soldiers throwing a body from a rooftop in the occupied West Bank. Israel’s foreign ministry said Lee had presented an old incident as current. In a follow-up post on X, Lee said global criticism reflects concerns over actions “that violate human rights and international law,” adding that past tragedies should not be repeated.
