South Korea protests US-backed Israeli wars on Iran, Gaza
Dozens of demonstrators marched through the streets of Seoul, South Korea, chanting “stop bombing Iran” in protest of US airstrikes and in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Joon-Hyun, a 40-year-old teacher, told AFP, “I believe it was a terribly wrong decision that will only further destabilise the Middle East.” “If this escalates into a wider war and results in the deaths of many people, I think the responsibility lies with Trump and Israel, who initiated the bombing,” he added.
