Spokesperson for Foreign Ministry of DPRK Answers KCNA

A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA on October 1 as regards the fact that Israel's recent large-scale military attack and terrorist acts against Lebanon caused huge casualties:

Israel is resorting to massacre, terrorism and assassination, talking about the "right to self-defence" and "security". Its brutality and shamelessness are arousing great hatred and resentment of the international community.

It is a hideous war crime, an unethical crime, that Israel killed many civilians by committing indiscriminate military attack and terrorist acts against Lebanon.

Israel, not content with the thrice-cursed massacre that stunned the world people in the Gaza Strip of Palestine, is now encroaching upon the right to existence of the Arab people in the Middle East including Lebanon and the US is manipulating it. This shows that they are, indeed, the cancer-like entities against regional peace and stability and the common enemy of the Arab people.

The key to ensuring durable peace in the Middle East is to guarantee the legitimate national right of the Palestinian people to independent statehood and put an end to Israel's invasion and hostile acts against the Arab countries as soon as possible.

We strongly denounce the organizational heinous terrorist acts of Israel which is expanding its large-scale massacre of innocent civilians to the whole Middle East and of the US which guards the former, and express invariable support and solidarity to the Arab people in their struggle for defending sovereignty, right to existence and territorial integrity.
