South Korea President Lee Jae-myung Compares Gaza War to Holocaust on X

South Korean President Lee Jae-myung sparked international controversy when he shared a video on X showing Israeli Defense Forces soldiers throwing a body off a rooftop in Gaza. His quote-post read: "This is no different from Comfort Women or the Holocaust."

Israel's government quickly condemned the comparison. Officials accused Lee of trivializing the Holocaust and called the comparison unacceptable. The diplomatic row threatens relationships between the two countries.

Lee ran on a platform of pragmatic diplomacy and promised to improve South Korea's relationships with neighboring countries. He also pledged to open communication channels with North Korea and strengthen ties with the U.S. and Japan.

The incident highlights how social media has changed diplomacy. World leaders can now create international incidents with a single post, bypassing traditional diplomatic channels.
