Israel-Gaza Flotilla Row: President Lee Jae-myung publicly questioned whether Israel’s seizure and detention of Gaza-bound aid flotillas carrying South Koreans is legal under international law, ordering officials to review countermeasures after the government said it would examine the legal basis. Nuclear Submarine Talks: Seoul and Washington are set to launch bilateral working groups on nuclear-powered submarines and broader nuclear cooperation, with US Under Secretary Allison Hooker leading talks in coming weeks. Samsung Strike Watch: Samsung and its largest union resumed last-minute wage mediation under the labor minister as an 18-day strike looms, raising the specter of emergency arbitration. Hormuz Energy Squeeze: Foreign Minister Cho Hyun said a Korea-operated oil tanker is exiting the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with Iran, while markets stay jittery over Middle East risk. Inter-Korean Sports Diplomacy: A rare North-South women’s football semifinal in Suwon is set to test whether sport can soften tensions, even as both sides insist it’s “just a match.”
