South Korean president engages in 'quote-post diplomacy'

South Korean President Lee Jae-myung recently sparked controversy by quoting a post on X that included a misleadingly labeled video of Israeli soldiers. The quoted post alleged IDF soldiers tortured and threw a Palestinian child off a roof, but the video was actually from September 2024 and depicted a different incident. This act of 'quote-post diplomacy' drew widespread criticism for its potential to misinform and inflame tensions, particularly given the sensitive geopolitical context. The incident underscores the challenges of navigating online discourse and the impact of social media on international relations.
