โ๐ฎ๐ฑ Why North Korea Still Refuses to Recognize Israel
Since 1948, North Korea has never officially recognized Israel โ and its stance hasnโt wavered for decades. Hereโs why:
๐ด 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.
๐ค 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.
๐ฃ Historic Military Support:
In the past, North Korea has provided weapons, training, and support to Palestinian groups and Arab nations opposed to Israel โ fostering a legacy of resistance and solidarity.
๐ข Why Repeat the Statement?
North Korea reaffirms this position during:
IsraeliโPalestinian escalations
Global moves to normalize ties with Israel
Diplomatic shifts it aims to criticize
โ Recognizes Palestine
โ Does Not Recognize Israel
This policy is not new โ it's a reflection of Pyongyangโs long-standing geopolitical identity and symbolic alignment in global conflicts.
