South Korea’s Lee criticises Israel detentions, says actions ‘way out of line’

​South Korean ​President ‌Lee Jae Myung ​on Wednesday said Israel had ‌arrested South Korean nationals in international waters, calling the action “way out of ‌line”.

In a cabinet meeting, ‌Lee said the South Korean citizens had been detained for reasons ⁠not ​valid ⁠under international law, questioning whether such actions ⁠could be allowed to ​pass without protest.

Lee said he believed ⁠many European countries were willing ⁠to arrest ​Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu under International Criminal Court ⁠warrants but that Seoul must ⁠make its ⁠own judgment on the matter.
