@President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu are meeting at the White House Oval Office on the 25th.

President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu held a meeting at the Oval Office of the White House on the 25th. In October of last year, President Biden personally visited Israel, which had suffered a surprise attack by Hamas, and met with Prime Minister Netanyahu again at the White House nine months later.

Prior to the meeting, Prime Minister Netanyahu told President Biden, “I look forward to working together on the critical issues before us during the remainder of my term,” and President Biden responded, “I am also very excited.”

조 바이든 대통령과 네타냐후 이스라엘 총리가 백악관 오발오피스에서 25일 회담을 가졌다.

지난해 10월 바이든 대통령이 하마스의 기습공격을 받은 이스라엘을 직접 방문해 네타냐후 총리와 만난이후 9개월 만에 다시 백악관에서 회담을 가졌다.

네타냐후 총리는 회담에 앞서 바이든 대통령에게 “남은 임기 동안 우리 앞에 놓인 중대한 문제들에 대해 협력할 수 있기를 기대한다.”고 말했으며 바이든 대통령은 “나 역시 매우 기대된다.”고 회답했다.

Secretary of State Tony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan were present at the meeting and were said to have discussed with Israel the progress of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of hostages.

회담 자리에는 토니 블링컨 국무장관과 제이크 설리번 국가안보보좌관 등이 배석했고 이스라엘 측과 가자지구 휴전 및 인질 석방 진행 상황을 논의했다고 전해졌다.

At this meeting, which was held privately, it was reported that President Biden urged Prime Minister Netanyahu more strongly than ever to accept the ceasefire agreement. It is said that there was strong pressure during the meeting with Vice President Harris, and Prime Minister Netanyahu was reportedly not in a very good mood.

비공개로 진행된 이번 회담에서는 바이든 대통령이 네타냐후 총리에게 휴전합의를 받아들이라고 어느때 보다 강력하게 촉구했다고 전했다. 해리스 부통령과의 만남에서도 강력한 압력이 있었다고 전해지면서 네타냐후 총리가 기분이 썩 좋지 않았다고 전해졌다.

It is known that ceasefire negotiations for the release of hostages between Israel and the Palestinian armed faction Hamas are currently in the final stages, but the prevailing position is that it is not over yet. .

이스라엘과 팔레스타인 무장 정파 하마스 간 인질 석방을 위한 휴전 협상은 현재 마무리 단계에 접어든 것으로 알려졌지만, 아직 끝날 때 까지 끝난게 아니라는 것이 지배적인 입장이라고 볼 수 있다. .

Meanwhile, attention is being paid to the fact that the families of Americans held hostage by Hamas are attending the meeting with President Biden and Prime Minister Netanyahu, showing signs of rapid movement toward the release of the hostages.

한편 하마스에 의해 인질로 잡혀 있는 미국인의 가족들이 바이든대통령과 네타냐후 총리와의 회담후 함께 참석하면서 인질 석방이 발빠르게 움직일 조짐을 보이고 있어 주목된다.

In front of the White House, protesters called Netanyahu a killer, made a scarecrow and burned it, and burned an American flag. Radical protests by NT Israelis and Palestinians living in the United States continued.

백악관 앞에서는 네타냐후를 킬러라 부르며 허수아비를 만들어 불태우는가 하면 미국 성조기를 불태우는 퍼포먼스를 시위대들이 행사했고, 엔티 이스라엘 사람들과 미국에 살고 있는 팔레스타인들의 과격한 시위가 계속됐다.

No matter what happens, I think setting fire to the American flag was wrong. The American flag is a symbol of America and the face of the American people.

어떤일이 있어도 미국 성조기에 불을 지른 행동은 잘못되었다고 본다. 성조기는 미국의 상징이자 미국민의 얼굴이다. (끝)

White House officially confirms dispatch of 3,000 North Korean troops for the first time_This is the start.
(10-23-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a White House NSC communications advisor and Janne Pak at the White House Press Briefing on October 23, 2024. The White House released its assessment of North Korea's military deployment to Russia for the first time.  John Kirby, White House NSC communications advisor, said at a White House briefing today (23rd), “We assess that between early- to mid-October, North Korea moved at least 3,000 soldiers into eastern Russia.” “We assessed that these soldiers traveled by ship from the Wonsan area in North Korea to Vladivostok, Russia.” “These soldiers then traveled onward to multiple Russian military training sites in eastern Russia where they are currently undergoing training.” 미 백악관은 북한군 러시아 파병에 관해 처음으로 평가를 공개했다. 존 커비 백악관 NSC 소통보좌관은 오늘(23일) 백악관 브리핑에서 "우리는 10월 초부터 중순까지 북한이 최소 3,000명의 군인을 러시아 동부로 이동한 것으로 평가한다.“며 ”이들 병사들은 북한 원산 지역에서 러시아 블라디보스토크까지 배를 타고 이동한 것으로 평가됐다.“고 말했다. ”이후 이 군인들은 현재 훈련을 받고 있는 동부 러시아의 여러 러시아 군사 훈련장으로 이동했다."고 밝혔다. Kirby said "If Russia is indeed forced to turn to North Korea for manpower, this would be a sign of weakness,...

Pentagon: "We certainly welcome the South Korea's support for Ukraine's fight for freedom and sovereignty."
(10-22-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a Pentagon Press Secretary General Ryder and Janne Pak at the Pentagon Press Briefing on October 22, 2024. North Korea had already dispatched fighter pilots to Russia for training, and then dispatched 1,500 special forces and thousands of ground troops. The Ukrainian military command and the Korean government reported confirming this. However, the White House, State Department, and Pentagon are refraining from saying anything, saying they are still confirming it. 북한은 러시아에 전투조종사들을 이미 파견해 훈련을 했었고, 이어 특수부대 1,500명과 지상군 수천명을 파병했다. 우크라이나 군사령부와 한국정부는 이를 확인했다고 보도했다. 하지만 백악관과 국무부, 펜타곤은 여전히 확인중이라며 말을 아끼고 있다. Meanwhile, South Korea's President Yoon and NATO Secretary General had a phone call yesterday and mentioned the possibility of providing weapons of mass destruction (offensive weapons) such as 155mm artillery shells to Ukraine. However, this will be implemented in stages and depends on how Russia and North Korea act and come out. 그런가 하면 한국 윤대통령과 나토 사무총장은 어제 전화 통화를 하고 우크라이나에 155㎜ 포탄 등 대량살상무기(공격용 무기) 제공 가능성을 언급했다. 그러나 이는 단계적으로 시행 될 것인데 러시아와 북한이 어떻게 행동하고 나오는데 달려있다. The South Korean people...

The dispatch of N.Kn troops is not only a threat to the security of Ukraine, Europe but it is also a concern for South Korea
(10-22-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on October 22, 2024. As the issue of North Korea's military deployment to Russia has emerged as an important issue in the international community, South Korea and Ukraine are becoming increasingly tense. However, the United States has not yet shown a clear position on this. 북한군의 러시아파병에 대한 문제가 국제사회의 중요한 이슈로 부각되면서, 한국과 우크라이나는 더욱 긴장을 놓지 않고 있다. 하지만 미국은 아직 이에 대한 명확한 입장을 보이고 있지 않고 있다. Meanwhile, the chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee sent a letter to President Biden requesting a briefing on North Korean military deployment. The U.S. Congress pointed out that the current Biden government is neglecting the issue of sending North Korean troops and the Korean Peninsula, which are concerns of the international community. Chairman Turner also stated that NATO allies must respond immediately as the situation regarding the deployment of North Korean troops is serious. 이런가운데 미 하원 정보위원장은 바이든 대통령에게 북한군 배치에 대한 브리핑을 요청하는 서한을 보냈다. 미 의회는 국제사회가 우려하고 있는 북한군 파병이슈와...

“U.S. can‘t confirm whether North Korean troops are being dispatched to Russia, but 'we are deeply concerned.'”
(10-21-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) "What will be the impact on the Korean Peninsula? "If this is true, it would certainly be another example of the reckless and destabilizing behavior North Korea is engaging in." @Q&A with a State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on October 21, 2024. @North Korean special forces@A photo posted on Ukrainian military social media shows North Korean soldiers gathered at the Sergievsky training camp in Russia, waiting for actual training. South Korea's National Intelligence Service and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy released clear video footage on the 20th when they announced that North Korea's military had dispatched troops to Russia. As detailed footage of North Korean troops participating in training at a Russian training camp has been released, the BBC is also actively reporting. It turned out that what had been consistent speculation so far was true. 한국 국정원과 젤렌스키 우크라이나 대통령은 20일 북한군이 러시아에 파병한 사실을 발표하면서 명확한 비디오영상을 공개했다. 러시아 훈련소에서 북한군이 훈련에 참가하고 있는 구체적인 영상이 공개되면서 BBC방송도 적극적인 보도를 하고 있다. 그동안의 추측만으로 일관했던 것이 사실임이 밝혀 졌다. However, the United States still only states...

Pentagon: If the dispatch of North Korean troops to Russia is true, this is a serious concern.
(10-17-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a Pentagon Press Secretary General Pat Ryder and Janne Pak at the Pentagon Press Briefing on October 17, 2024. Russia has recently been pouring out harsh criticism towards South Korea, claiming that South Korea carried out a drone provocation against Pyongyang. Meanwhile, Russia submitted a bill to the House of Representatives ratifying the North Korea-Russia Mutual Military Cooperation Treaty and declared that it would provide military support in case of conflict between North and South Korea. Russia has revealed its intention to intervene militarily in the event of an emergency on the Korean Peninsula. 러시아는 최근 한국이 평양에 드론을 투입했다면서 한국을 향해 맹 비난을 쏟아내고 있다. 그런가하면 러시아는 북-러 상호군사협력조약을 비준하는 법안을 하원에 제출하고, 남북이 충돌할 경우 군사지원을 하겠다고 선언했다. 한반도 유사시 러시아가 군사적 개입을 할 의도를 밝히고 있다, At a briefing on the 17th (local time), the U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) responded to my question, “How does the U.S. view Russia’s direct involvement in the inter-Korean conflict?” to which Press Secretary General Ryder responded, “We're going to continue to work closely with our ROK allies to support their defense.” 미 국방부(펜타곤)는 17일(현지시간) 브리핑에서...

U.S., big concerns over Russia and North Korea have begun legalization of the “Mutual Military Cooperation Treaty”
(10-16-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on October 16, 2024. The Kremlin announced that Russia has submitted a bill to the House of Representatives and begun work to obtain ratification to legislate the mutual military cooperation treaty recently concluded between North Korea and Russia. 러시아는 최근 북러간에 맺은 상호군사협력조약을 법제화 하기위하여 하원에 법안을 제출하고 비준을 받기위한 작업에 착수했다고 크렘린궁이 발표했다. If the mutual military cooperation treaty between North Korea and Russia is legalized, not only will it be possible to support military cooperation between the two countries when North Korea or Russia are in a state of war, but it will also be a means to avoid condemnation or sanctions by the UN Security Council by justifying military cooperation between North Korea and Russia. 북러간의 상호군사협력조약이 합법화 되면 북한이나 러시아가 전시상태일 때 양국간 군사협력지원이 가능할뿐만 아니라 북러간 군사협력을 정당화 해서 유엔안보리의 규탄이나 제재를 피하기위한 수단이다. Russia lost a lot of troops and weapons due to the war in Ukraine and desperately needed North Korea's help to make up for it. As the strategic give-and-take between Putin...

“North Korea must stop taking actions that increase the risk of conflict”
(10-15-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on October 15, 2024. North Korea is making an unreasonable claim, saying that it was South Korea that sent the anti-North Korea leaflets along with the drone over Pyongyang. It is said that a drone entered the skies over Pyongyang on the 3rd, 9th, and 10th of October. 북한은 무인기와함께 대북전단지를 평양상공으로 보낸 것이 한국이라며 억지 주장을 펼치고 있다. 10월3일, 9일, 10일, 3일동안 무인기가 평양상공에 들어왔다는 것이다. According to North Korea's Korean Central News Agency on the 11th, "North Korea's recent drone provocation is a serious political and military provocation that must be retaliated against in accordance with its right to self-defense," and "The People's Army General Staff has ordered artillery units at the front to be ready to fire." “It was reported.” 11일 북한 조선중앙통신에 의하면 “북한은 한국의 이번 무인기 도발 행위를 응당 자위권에 따라 보복을 가해야 할 중대한 정치군사적 도발이다.”며 “인민군 총참모부는 전방에 포병부대에게 사격준비태세를 지시했다.”고 보도했다. Regarding North Korea's sudden claim of drone infiltration, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff immediately denied it, saying, "The military has...

Pentagon: Taking North Korea's border fortification seriously._“We will continue to cooperate for security and stability”
(10-10-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a Pentagon Press Secretary General Pat Ryder and Janne Pak at the Pentagon Press Briefing on October 10, 2024. Recently, North Korea denied unification with South Korea and defined South Korea as a belligerent and hostile country. At the same time, they blocked the railways and roadways connecting North and South Korea, built a concrete barrier similar to the Berlin Wall on the armistice line, and even laid landmines, effectively beginning to “fortify the border.” 최근 북한은 남한과의 통일을 부정하면서 한국을 교전국 적대시 국가로 규정했다. 그러면서 남북한 연결 철도와 차량도로를 차단했고, 휴전선에 베를린 장벽과 같은 콘크리트 장벽을 쌓아 올리고 지뢰까지 매설하면서 사실상 “국경요새화”를 시작했다. North Korea's overtly hostile policy toward South Korea shows the instability and shakiness of North Korea's Kim Jong-un regime. First, as the number of cases of North Korean soldiers defecting from the Demilitarized Zone has increased recently, it is possible to understand the psychological state of North Korea trying to prevent them. Second, North Korea stated that it was building a concrete wall to prevent South Korea from launching a preemptive attack. 이는 북한의 남한에 대한 노골적인 적대시 정책은 북한 김정은...

"We are very concerned about military cooperation between North Korea and Russia _Close cooperation between S.K. and the U.S."
(10-8-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh and Janne Pak at the Pentagon Press Briefing on October 8, 2024. Ukrainian Kiev Post and Russian media reported that six North Korean military officers were killed and three wounded on the battlefield in Ukraine. 러시아의 우크라이나 전장에서 북한군 장교 6명이 사망하고 3명이 부상했다는 우크라이나 키이우 포스트지와 러시아 언론이 보도했다. Russian media acknowledged the deployment of North Korean troops and stated that they were agents controlling the quality of weapons. However, since Russia and North Korea have mutual military cooperation and arms deals, it can be seen that they can sufficiently dispatch North Korean troops. 러시아 언론은 북한군의 파병된 것을 인정하면서 이는 무기 품질을 관리하는 요원이라고 밝혔다. 하지만 러시아와 북한은 상호 군사협력관계를 맺고 있고 무기거래를 하고 있기 때문에 충분히 북한군을 파견할수 있다고 볼 수 있다. Meanwhile, South Korea's Minister of National Defense said at the National Defense Commission's audit yesterday, "There is a possibility that the North Korean Army may be sent additional troops to the Ukraine war for Russia." 한편 한국 국방부장관은 어제 국방위원회 국정감사에서 “북하군이 러시아를 위해 우크라이나 전쟁에 추가 파병될수 있다는 가능성이 있다.”고 밝혔다.

U.S. Wants Complete Denuclearization of Korean Peninsula_“Will Raise Issue at ASEAN Meeting.”
(10-7-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) "How will the U.S. completely denuclearize North Korea?" @Q&A with a State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on October 8, 2024 As the issue of arms cooperation between North Korea and Russia is emerging as a major issue, the UN Security Council is increasingly condemning it. An official from the North Korean mission to the UN said that the arms deal between North Korea and Russia is a non-existent fiction and that it is a conspiracy by the United States. 북러간의 무기협력문제가 큰 이슈로 떠오르고 있는가운데 유엔안보리에서는 이를 규탄하는 목소리가 높다. 유엔주제 북한대표부의 관리는 북러간의 무기거래는 있지도 않는 허구이며 이는 미국의 음모라고 말했다. The North Korean representative also said at the UN Security Council meeting that North Korea is a nuclear state and will not participate in any dialogue or negotiations for denuclearization, and threatened that anyone who attacks North Korea could use nuclear weapons. 이 북한 대표는 유엔 안전보장이사회 회의에서 북한은 핵보유국이며 비핵화를 위한 어떠한 대화나 협상에도 참여하지 않을 것이라고 말했으며, 북한을 공격하는 사람은 누구든 핵무기를 사용할 수 있다고 위협했다. When North Korea withdrew from the NPT and...
