Israeli president visits SKorea amid Gaza uproar
"South Korea (AP) — Israeli President Shimon Peres arrived in Seoul on Tuesday for a working-level summit amid concerns the visit's timing could negatively affect South Korea's diplomatic efforts to censure North Korea at the United Nations.
Seoul appealed to the U.N. Security Council on Friday to punish Pyongyang, accusing its nuclear-armed neighbor of blowing apart one of its warships with a torpedo, killing 46 sailors. It was the first time Seoul has taken Pyongyang to the Security Council over an inter-Korean dispute, despite a history of being attacked by the North.
South Korea has been working to garner international backing for the diplomatic action. Israel, meanwhile, has come under intense international criticism for its raid on a ship carrying aid to Hamas-ruled Gaza that killed eight Turks and a Turkish-American. Israel claims its troops acted in self-defense."
