SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s defense minister said Tuesday he would push to suspend a 2018 inter-Korean military agreement in order to resume frontline surveillance on rival North Korea, as the surprise attack on Israel by Hamas militants raised concerns in South Korea about similar assaults by the North.
The agreement, reached during a brief period of diplomacy between South Korea’s former liberal President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, created buffer zones along land and sea boundaries and no-fly zones above the border to prevent clashes.
Talking with reporters in Seoul, South Korean Defense Minister Shin Won-shik cited the violence in Israel and Gaza to stress the need to strengthen monitoring on the North. Shin was appointed by President Yoon Suk Yeol on Saturday.
이를 핑계로 한국 국방 장관은 화요일 하마스 무장 세력에 의한 이스라엘에 대한 기습 공격이 북한의 유사한 공격에 대한 우려를 불러 일으켰기 때문에 북한에 대한 최전선 감시를 재개하기 위해 2018 년 남북 군사 협정을 중단 할 것이라고 밝혔다. ㅠㅠ
