North Korea leader Kim Jong Un earns praise for support of Jerusalem against US - Israel
Shares
ISLAMABAD - North Korea leader Kim Jong Un has won admirers for his vocal criticism of Israel and his jibes about the controversial American policy shift on Jerusalem.
US President Donald Trump announced on December 6 he would recognise the disputed city as Israel’s capital and move his embassy there.
Kim responded by calling Trump a “dotard” and slamming his decision as a “reckless, wicked act”.
Israel seized control of the eastern part of Jerusalem in the 1967 Six-Day war and later declared the entire city its undivided capital.
The Palestinians view the east side as the capital of their future state.
To enter Israel to visit Jerusalem, Gazans have to apply for hard-to-get permits from the Jewish state, which has blockaded the strip for a decade.
