נשיא דרום קוריאה: ישראל "חטפה" אזרחים שלנו במשט לעזה, לשקול מעצר של נתניהו

הערכה

South Korean President Lee Jae-myung has escalated a diplomatic dispute with Israel by suggesting that Israeli forces unlawfully detained South Korean citizens during a naval interdiction of a flotilla bound for Gaza. His remark about reconsidering Prime Minister Netanyahu's arrest signals a significant deterioration in bilateral relations, moving from criticism to potential state-level legal action. This appears part of a broader pattern of Lee Jae-myung's outspoken criticisms of Israeli policy. The flotilla incident itself and the exact circumstances of the detentions remain central points of factual disagreement between the two governments.
