South Korea criticises Israel detentions, says actions ‘way out of line’
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung on Wednesday said Israel had arrested South Korean nationals in international waters, calling the action “way out of line”.
In a cabinet meeting, Lee said the South Korean citizens had been detained for reasons not valid under international law, questioning whether such actions could be allowed to pass without protest.
Lee said he believed many European countries were willing to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu under International Criminal Court warrants but that Seoul must make its own judgment on the matter.
