On the Global Day of Action, South Korean activists staged a "die-in" protest in Seoul to symbolize solidarity with the victims of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, urging their government to cease arms exports that contribute to the Israeli genocidal war, Iran's Press TV reported.

The activists called on the South Korean government to end its arms trade with "Israel" and urged automotive manufacturer Hyundai to halt the sale of equipment destined for the demolition of Palestinian homes to build illegal Israeli settlements.

According to South Korean lawmaker Jang Hye-Young, South Korea's arms trade with "Israel" has markedly expanded, with exports reaching $47 million over the past decade.

Jang pointed out that Seoul persisted with its arms exports to Tel Aviv despite documented Israeli military strikes against Palestinian refugee camps and hospitals, and despite the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordering "Israel" to take all measures to prevent genocide acts in Gaza.

Despite being a party to the Arms Trade Treaty, which prohibits signatories from exporting arms if they will be used to commit genocide, war crimes, or attacks on civilians, South Korea's arms sales to the Israeli occupation entity remain in place.

Amnesty International Korea also pointed out that the South Korean government has not issued a decision to suspend arms exports to "Israel", although the UN Human Rights Council urged a halt to all arms sales to the Israeli occupation entity, citing concerns of genocide in Gaza.
