North Korea’s Foreign Ministry on Saturday condemned US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s warnings about a rapprochement between Pyongyang and Moscow, saying the statements “only exacerbate dangerous political and military tensions” on the Korean Peninsula.
During a visit to Seoul this week, Blinken said he was concerned about North Korea’s “increasing and dangerous military cooperation with Russia,” urging Pyongyang’s key ally Beijing to use its influence to prevent dangerous military tests.
On Saturday, Pyongyang condemned Blinken’s statements, describing them as “irresponsible and provocative”. The statements “only serve to escalate dangerous political and military tensions on the Korean Peninsula and the region,” the foreign ministry said, according to North Korea’s official news agency.
“The United States must get used to the new reality of relations between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and Russia,” he added, using North Korea’s official name.
Historical allies Russia and North Korea are both subject to international sanctions, the former for its aggression in Ukraine and the latter for its banned nuclear weapons and missile programs.
Their growing military cooperation worries Ukraine and its allies, especially after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Russian Far East in September.
According to Seoul, North Korea gave Russia more than a million artillery shells for its war in Ukraine in exchange for technical advice on its satellites.
“Regardless of what others say, friendly and cooperative relations between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and Russia… will continue to be strengthened,” Pyongyang said on Saturday.
After Blinken’s visit this week, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is expected to meet his South Korean counterpart in Seoul on Monday, as South Korea and the US intensify their defense cooperation.

US President Joe Biden has set a deadline to end Israel’s war on Gaza, US sources said, while US intelligence agencies believe Israel has ignored US calls for an ongoing occupation since October 7.
The website Politico cited three Israeli officials as saying that the US president’s administration has given Israel until the end of the year to end its war on the Islamist movement (rebellion)
An official explained that the US administration had advised Israel not to go to Gaza But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration ignored this and continued with plans to infiltrate the area.
Biden spoke by phone with Netanyahu yesterday, and the White House stressed the urgent need for the US president to “protect civilians and separate civilians from Hamas, including corridors that allow people to safely evacuate designated areas of fighting. .”
A fatal attack
On the other hand, the Huffington Post website quoted a US official as saying that US intelligence estimates that the Israeli military is continuing to operate at the same pace and showing limited concern for civilians despite repeated US calls for restraint.
The official said he doubted the current Israeli military offensive would be bloodier than Israel’s assault on the northern Gaza Strip in the first phase of its occupation of Gaza.
Citing a US State Department official that the Israeli military is waging a “campaign of ethnic cleansing” in Gaza, a US diplomat said Washington was angry at how it had “literally” tarnished Netanyahu’s reputation. America to advance its own political agenda.
In this case, the Associated Press quoted a senior US State Department official as saying that the death toll in Gaza is still high as Secretary of State Anthony Blinken spoke by phone with Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Termer. Israel should make more efforts to allow humanitarian aid to enter it.
Blinken, after a press conference with his British counterpart David Cameron yesterday, said there was a gap between the Israeli government’s stated intentions to protect civilians and the number of casualties in the Strip.
“For example, it’s not just about creating safe zones, it’s about communicating where non-combatants know where, when and by what means they can escape. Refugees must be provided with food, water and medicine. These safe zones,” he added.
Over two months of Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip have claimed more than 17,000 lives and injured some 46,000 people, in light of the widespread destruction of infrastructure and the displacement of more than two dozen Gazans in addition to the worsening humanitarian crisis. million, for areas south of the Strip.

The US Bloomberg agency quoted Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayeh as saying that the Palestinian Authority is working with US officials on a plan to manage the Gaza Strip after the end of the war.
The preferred outcome of the conflict is for the Islamist movement (Hamas) currently operating in the Gaza Strip to become a junior partner in Palestinian liberation, Shtaeyeh said in an interview with Bloomberg on Thursday from his headquarters in Ramallah. The organization aims to establish a new independent state that includes the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Jerusalem.
Shtayeh said that the Palestinians should not be divided and that Israel’s goal of completely eliminating Hamas is unrealistic, and that there is room for negotiation if Hamas is willing to accept the PLO’s political approach and reach an agreement.
Phil Gordon, the US vice president’s national security adviser, held discussions with Palestinian officials in Ramallah about the “revitalization” of the Palestinian Authority, the White House said last Wednesday.
He insisted that a revived Palestinian Authority would be able to govern the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
According to the White House, he emphasized the need to strengthen the Palestinian Authority’s security forces to eventually take over responsibilities in Gaza.
In a related context, the British newspaper The Times said that a British military team is operating in the West Bank to prepare the Palestinian Authority to take over the administration of the Gaza Strip.
According to Israeli figures, 1,200 people were killed and about 240 detained and captured after attacks on Israeli cities on October 7, after which Israel pledged to eliminate Hamas.
