Gaza restaurant offers North Koreans discount in gesture to Kim
A Gaza Strip restaurant is offering mouth-watering discounts to any North Koreans who might be passing by in gratitude for Pyongyang condemning the US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. But restaurateur Salim Rabaa is unlikely to have to honour his generous pledge. "Eighty percent off for Korean customers in appreciation of the role of Korean leader Kim (Jong-Un) in our Palestinian cause," a sign on the Rabaa Restaurant in the Jabalia refugee camp reads.
There are currently no North Koreans in the besieged coastal Palestinian territory, nor do any Palestinian residents hold the citizenship, according to the Gaza interior ministry. But Kim has won admirers for his vocal criticism of Israel and his jibes about the controversial American policy shift on Jerusalem. US President Donald Trump announced on December 6 he would recognise the disputed city as Israel's capital and move his embassy there. Kim responded by calling Trump a "dotard" and slamming his decision as a "reckless, wicked act".
