North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered the execution of two Israelis living in the country for allegedly transmitting secret information to Mossad. This was reported by "Ru.haberler.com".
According to the publication, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un accused two Israelis living in the country of espionage and ordered their execution. It is said that these individuals were targeted for transmitting secret information to Israel's intelligence service — Mossad.
It is emphasized that the reason for transmitting their information to Mossad is that the two Israelis possessed strategic and military information in North Korea and delivered this information to Mossad. It is stated that these actions were identified as a result of an investigation conducted by the security services.
It is reported that Kim Jong Un demonstrated a firm stance against such actions threatening state security and personally made the decision regarding the execution. In North Korea, espionage is punishable by the most severe penalty.
This incident has attracted the attention of the international community, but so far no independent sources have officially confirmed this information.
Firstly, a diplomatic escalation is possible. Relations between Israel and North Korea are already limited, and this situation could further deteriorate. This could also directly involve the US and its allies in the process. Secondly, an escalation in intelligence conflicts is likely.
Mossad and other services may act more actively and aggressively in the region, leading to an increase in retaliatory operations. Thirdly, international debates on human rights may intensify. The execution decision is likely to cause sharp criticism in Western countries.
Finally, this step is being assessed as a reference to North Korea's "hard power" policy — that is, a signal sent to internal and external audiences about the absence of any compromise on matters of state security.
Mossad — is Israel's external intelligence service.
