Kim Jong Un on Gaza

Kim Jong Un maintains a consistently strong and negative stance regarding the conflict in Gaza, framing it as a struggle against imperialism and occupation. State media has harshly criticized Israel for its military actions, labeling mass killings as unpardonable crimes against humanity, and has historically expressed full support for the Palestinian Arab struggle to restore self-determination. This condemnation extends to what is perceived as American overreach, such as calling a proposed plan for the territory's occupation and population expulsion "slaughter and robbery."

Historically, North Korea has not recognized Israel, viewing it as an imperialist satellite state of the United States, which has underpinned its enduring support for the Palestinian cause. Official reports indicate that the leader ordered officials to provide a wide range of support for the Palestinian Arab people following recent escalations. The regime continues this foreign policy position, aligning itself with revolutionary movements and condemning military actions in the region as threats to peace.
