Calls to boycott K-drama over disguised reference to 'Israel' and Palestine

A popular Korean drama airing on South Korea’s MBC channel faced criticism on social media this week for reportedly making disguised references to "Israel’s" war on Gaza in favor of the Israeli regime. Many social media users have accused the K-drama When the Phone Rings of including insensitive and provocative references to "Israel" and Palestine. Pro-Palestine viewers have suggested that the show subtly promotes Zionist narratives.
