❌🇮🇱 Why North Korea Still Refuses to Recognize Israel
Since 1948, North Korea has never officially recognized Israel — and its stance hasn’t wavered for decades. Here’s why:
🔴 Ideological Grounds:
Pyongyang views Israel as a close ally of the U.S., its principal adversary. Supporting Palestine aligns with North Korea's anti-imperialist, anti-Western ideology.
🤝 Pro-Palestine Policy:
North Korea recognizes the State of Palestine within the 1967 borders (including East Jerusalem as its capital), reinforcing its revolutionary foreign policy framework.
💣 Historic Military Support:
In the past, North Korea has provided weapons, training, and support to Palestinian groups and Arab nations opposed to Israel — fostering a legacy of resistance and solidarity.
📢 Why Repeat the Statement?
North Korea reaffirms this position during:
Israeli–Palestinian escalations
Global moves to normalize ties with Israel
Diplomatic shifts it aims to criticize
✅ Recognizes Palestine
❌ Does Not Recognize Israel
This policy is not new — it's a reflection of Pyongyang’s long-standing geopolitical identity and symbolic alignment in global conflicts.
