South Korean President Lee Jae Myung condemned Israel’s detention of South Korean citizens in international waters during a Wednesday cabinet meeting, describing the actions as inappropriate.
The president stated that the South Korean nationals were held for reasons that do not meet international law standards, and questioned whether such conduct should go unchallenged.
Lee also commented that he thinks numerous European nations would be prepared to detain Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu based on International Criminal Court warrants, though he emphasized that Seoul needs to reach its own conclusions on this issue.
