Iran Press/ Asia: North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has ordered “comprehensive support for Palestine,” South Korea’s spy agency told lawmakers at a closed-door audit on Wednesday.
The National Intelligence Service (NIS) told members of the National Assembly’s Intelligence Committee that Pyongyang “is planning how to fully exploit” the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that controls the Gaza Strip, according to conservative People Power Party lawmaker Yoo Sang-bum, who attended the meeting.
Yoo also said that the NIS told lawmakers it “detected orders from Kim to provide comprehensive support for Palestine.”
Last week, Israeli Ambassador to South Korea Akiva Tor said Tel Aviv knew that "North Korean-made weapons are in use by Hamas."
North Korea's ambassador to the UN, Kim Song, dismissed the report as "groundless rumors," accusing Washington of seeking to shift the blame for the war in the Middle East to "a third country."
According to the NIS, Pyongyang is believed to be in the final stage of preparations to carry out its third satellite launch following two failed attempts earlier this year.
The extensive air raids on the Gazan people mingled with a blockade on them came after the Palestinian resistance forces carried out the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on the Israeli regime's forces on October 7 in response to the regime's daily crimes against the Palestinian people during 75 years of occupation of Palestine.
According to Palestinian officials, the death toll in Gaza has risen to more than 8,500 people. The Israeli regime uses prohibited arms against the people, targeting hospitals and schools. 219
