Quick Glance: South Korea’s ‘Luke Skywalker’ Triumphs Against President Yoon

Former minister Cho Kuk aids in leftwing alliance's electoral victory

Former justice minister Cho Kuk, convicted on corruption charges, played a pivotal role in the defeat of conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol in parliamentary elections.

Cho calls for Yoon and PPP leader Han Dong-hoon, both former prosecutors, to be held accountable for abuse of power.

The leftwing alliance narrowly missed the 200-seat mark that would have allowed them to bypass a presidential veto. Yoon now faces over three years as a lame duck, while the country heads towards more than three years of stagnation.

Quick Glance: South Korean President's Challenging Future Ahead

South Korea's parliamentary election on April 10, 2024, served as a referendum on President Yoon Suk Yeol's initial two years in office.

The opposition Democratic Party maintained its majority in the National Assembly with 175 seats, while the ruling PPP faced a setback.

The election results will impact Yoon's domestic and foreign agendas due to facing a divided government and increased scrutiny from opposition parties.

Opposition parties will likely demand diplomatic achievements from the Yoon government in the next three years, scrutinizing the effectiveness of his foreign policy.

Quick Glance: Devastating Fire Strikes Copenhagen's Old Stock Exchange

A blaze engulfed Copenhagen’s historic former stock exchange in Denmark’s capital on Tuesday, with the spire being consumed by flames and collapsing.

The fire spread across multiple floors of the monument, leading to the collapse of its roof, as reported by local fire department chief Jakob Vedsted Andersen.

The tower, standing at 184 feet, featured a distinctive design resembling four intertwined dragons’ tails, symbolizing protection against enemies and fire, as indicated by tourism websites.

Deputy Prime Minister Troels Lund Poulsen referred to the incident as Denmark’s unique moment akin to Notre Dame, alluding to the 2019 fire in the roof of the Parisian landmark.

Yoav Gallant claims Israel ready for any scenario with Iran: The United States is also on high alert and preparing for a possible attack by Iran targeting ...

jpost.com/breaking-news/article-795719

Quick Glance: US Alerted to Impending Iranian Attack

The US is actively on high alert and preparing for a potential "significant" attack by Iran targeting Israeli or American assets in the region as a response to Monday's Israeli strike in Damascus that killed high-ranking Iranian commanders. Senior US officials currently believe that an attack by Iran is "inevitable" - a sentiment also shared by their Israeli counterparts. Both governments are working diligently to prepare for the anticipated Iranian attack, acknowledging the various possible methods through which the attack could unfold and the potential risks to US and Israeli assets and personnel.

A looming Iranian attack was a focal point of discussion during a phone call between President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday. At that moment, the two governments were uncertain about the timing and nature of Iran's retaliation. A direct Iranian strike on Israel is a scenario that the Biden administration is particularly concerned about, as it would lead to a swift escalation of an already volatile situation in the Middle East. Iran had vowed vengeance following Israel's airstrike on the Iranian embassy complex in Syria, resulting in the deaths of at least seven officials.

The US promptly informed Iran that the Biden administration was not involved in and had no prior knowledge of the embassy attack, cautioning against targeting American assets. The US considers its own embassies and consulates abroad, as well as foreign embassies and consulates in the US, to be under special protection.

On Tuesday, the Pentagon's Deputy Press Secretary, Sabrina Singh, stated that the US assessment pointed to Israel as the perpetrator of the airstrike. Israel has escalated its military operations against Iran and its regional allies following the October 7 attack on Israel by the Tehran-backed Hamas group. Subsequent warfare in Gaza by Israel has resulted in over 32,800 casualties, widespread devastation, and pushed more than a million individuals to the brink of starvation, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
