SEOUL, April 11, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - South Korean President Lee Jae Myung on Saturday accused Israel of failing to "reflect" on allegations of rights abuses by its forces, after Israel decried him for amplifying social media "disinformation". The Seoul leader irked Israel's foreign ministry this week with his comments on a social media video with a caption purporting it showed Israeli soldiers torturing and pushing a "Palestinian kid" off a roof. Israel's foreign ministry said in a statement on Saturday the incident was already "investigated and addressed". South Korea's foreign ministry attempted to defuse the escalating social media confrontation. But on Saturday Lee issued another pointed social media missive, commenting on a news article detailing Israel's backlash against his remarks.
