David Eunkoo Kim To FOX News: This Election Is Widely Seen As A Pivotal Moment For South Korea
On June 1, 2025, David Eunkoo Kim, founder and representative of Truth Forum, a conservative youth organization founded at Seoul National University, gave an interview to FOX news about the crucial upcoming elections in South Korea.
David Eunkoo Kim, who works with MEMRI (See MEMRI Daily Brief No. 772, South Korea's Democrats, Crisis, And What The U.S. Must Know, by David Eunkoo Kim, May 16, 2025) said to FOX news: "This election is widely seen as a pivotal moment for South Korea because the stakes – both domestically and geopolitically – are extraordinarily high."[2]
Then, commenting about Lee Jae-myung, current Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) candidate at the June 3 presidential elections, David Eunkoo Kim added: "Throughout his political career, [Lee] has consistently aligned himself with both pro-North Korean and pro-Chinese agendas. He has been implicated in sending funds to North Korea in violation of U.N. sanctions, and his deference to China has been nothing short of submissive."

David Eunkoo Kim In The New York Sun: "The Leftist DPK Presidential Candidate Lee Jae-Myung Actively Advocates For Improving Relations With China"
In a recent article to the New York Sun, David Eunkoo Kim stressed: "The leftist DPK presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung actively advocates for improving relations with China and criticized the 'inequality' of the U.S.-South Korea alliance, making him a prominent pro-China politician. Lee advocates for 'autonomous and balanced diplomacy centered on national interests.' He even mentioned that, if elected, he would cancel the THAAD (American anti-ballistic missile defense system) deployment and take wartime operational control of South Korean forces. Lee embraces a dangerous revisionist interpretation of Korean history – one that casts doubt on the very legitimacy of the Republic itself, absolves the violent legacy of communism, and promotes anti-American resentment."[3]
David Eunkoo Kim then added: "The DPK's embrace of revisionist history has translated into real-world deference to authoritarian regimes, most notably China."

Iraqi top court dismisses lawsuit to halt KRG's 24-hour power plan
Also in Iraq US calls on Iraq to punish pro-Iran militants over deadly Baghdad attack Kurdish MP urges Iraqi president to halt Qaratapa upgrade Iraqi authorities arrest PMF members linked to attack on ministry Iraq to hit 52 degrees Celsius amid scorching summer A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Iraq's highest judicial authority on Monday dismissed a lawsuit filed by Kurdish opposition lawmaker Srwa Abdulwahid seeking to annul the Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) landmark electricity project, Runaki, which aims to provide uninterrupted 24-hour power across the Region. In a statement published on its official website, the Federal Supreme Court rejected the case - identified as No.105/Federal/2025 - on the grounds of 'lack of jurisdiction.' The lawsuit pitted Abdulwahid against Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani and Prime Minister Masrour Barzani 'in their official capacities.' The complaint disputes the KRG Council of Ministers' May decision No. 280, which outlines the "implementation of the 24-hour continuous electricity project - Runaki project - allocating 265 billion Iraqi dinars [around $202 million] annually to support electricity subscribers' and provide round-the-clock electricity service. The Runaki initiative is a cornerstone of the KRG's infrastructure modernization efforts. Already operational in parts of Erbil, Duhok, and Sulaimani provinces, the project aims to phase out diesel generators, reduce emissions, and deliver consistent electricity. As of July, over two million people in the Region are receiving 24-hour electricity, according to the KRG. Abdulwahid, who leads the New Generation Movement (NGM) bloc in Iraq's parliament - the largest opposition group in the anticipated KRG cabinet - has been a vocal critic of the KRG and a persistent legal challenger. While the Federal Court did not disclose the detailed legal basis of her latest petition, Aziz Ahmad, deputy chief of staff to PM Barzani, hinted at underlying tensions stating, 'This was never about electricity.' In a Monday statement on X, Ahmad further slammed Abdulwahid's lawsuit remarking, 'While families and businesses enjoy uninterrupted power for the first time since 1991, [MP] Srwa Abdulwahid and the New Generation movement are in Baghdad trying to shut it down. 'The KRG will keep pushing to extend the Runaki programme to every city and village by the end of 2026,' Ahmad affirmed. In addition to her push to annul Runaki, Abdulwahid has filed multiple high-profile lawsuits against the KRG. Earlier in July, the Federal Court dismissed her legal attempt to dissolve the Kurdistan Region Parliament, also citing lack of jurisdiction. In July 2024, she filed a petition demanding the dissolution of the KRG and its institutions if parliamentary elections were not held within three months. That case was similarly dismissed. Abdulwahid was also a plaintiff in an August 2023 lawsuit against PM Barzani over salary deductions for public employees and retirees - again dismissed by the court for jurisdictional reasons. Separately, the Federal Court on Monday dismissed two additional lawsuits related to the salary disputes between Erbil and Baghdad, also citing jurisdictional limitations. One case was filed by three Kurdish citizens seeking to shield public the Region's public employee salaries from federal-regional political feuding. The second lawsuit demanded consistent salary payments and an urgent court injunction to compel the federal finance ministry to resume disbursements to the KRG. These cases were filed after tensions escalated between Erbil and Baghdad in late May when the federal finance ministry halted budget transfers to the KRG, accusing the latter of exceeding its 12.67 percent budget share and failing to meet oil export obligations. The halt left over 1.2 million KRG public sector workers unpaid for more than two months. However, the standoff has eased following renewed dialogue between the KRG and federal governments. On Thursday, the KRG's finance ministry announced it had received nearly 975 billion dinars (around $737 million) from Baghdad to cover May salaries, signaling progress in resolving the dispute.

Turkey's peace process commission to begin work in early August: Speaker
Also in Turkey Ocalan expects parliamentary commission will contribute to peace process Association calls on Zaza Kurds in Turkey to boost mother tongue Turkish parliament forms PKK peace talks commission DEM Party meets jailed PKK leader A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Turkey's newly formed parliamentary commission - established to secure political and legal guarantees for the disarmament of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) - is set to begin its work in early August, Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmus announced on Sunday. "With the participation of all political parties, we established the Terror-Free Turkey Commission to facilitate the process of liberation from terrorism and to disarm terrorist organizations,' Kurtulmus stated. He added that the commission also aims to implement the political and legal reforms needed to support this process, noting that 'at the beginning of August, we will start these measures.' The Turkish parliament on Friday announced the establishment of the 51-member Peace Process Commission on Friday. Its mandate is to provide the necessary legal and political frameworks for the disarmament of the PKK - a key step in the ongoing peace talks between the group and the Turkish state. The multiparty commission is expected to include 21 members from the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), ten from the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), and four each from the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) and the far-right Nationalist Movement Party (MHP). Smaller parties will occupy the remaining seats. Notably, the ultranationalist Good Party (IYI) has declined to participate in the commission. Kurtulmus emphasized that the commission - formed through consensus among parliamentary parties - 'will be a space where differing ideas can be debated and, ultimately, where concrete decisions serving the country's interest will be taken.' He described the commission's responsibilities as including submitting 'fulfilling responsibilities, submitting proposals to the Turkish Parliament' and helping Turkey 'become a country where terrorism is left behind.' The formation of the commission follows a symbolic gesture in early July, when 30 PKK fighters disarmed in the Kurdistan Region, in response to a February appeal by jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan. The act was widely seen as a show of goodwill in support of the peace talks with the Turkish state. Sezai Temelli, a DEM Party lawmaker, told Rudaw on Tuesday that the commission's core task is to ensure 'legal and political guarantees for the disarmament process.' Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday reiterated his support for the formation of the commission, describing it as a "first step" in the peace efforts and emphasizing his commitment to building a "terrorism-free future" for his country. In a message released in early July - just two days before the symbolic PKK disarmament - Ocalan had also expressed optimism that the commission would make 'important' contributions to peace and democracy through a 'comprehensive and inclusive approach.' While the PKK has begun disarmament efforts, the Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) - an umbrella organization that includes the PKK - has called for reciprocal action from the Turkish government. Cemil Bayik, senior PKK commander and co-chair of the KCK executive council, stated on Thursday that the group is not seeking amnesty but rather 'constitutional changes' that would benefit 'all democratic forces.' Bayik argued that Turkey's constitution - adopted after the 1980 military coup - has failed to recognize minority rights and needs comprehensive reform. 'Laws in Turkey need to change, not just for the Kurds, but for all democratic forces,' he said. Founded in 1978, the PKK initially aimed to establish an independent Kurdish state. Over the years, its focus shifted toward achieving broader political and cultural rights for Kurds in Turkey. The group is designated as a terrorist organization by Turkey and several of its allies.

Ocalan's cellmate freed as Turkiye renews Kurdish peace efforts
Shafaq News – Ankara Turkish authorities have released Veysi Aktas, a longtime cellmate of Abdullah Ocalan, the imprisoned founder of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), amid renewed efforts to revive peace talks between Ankara and the group. Although Aktas was due for release on April 28, 2024, the Imrali Prison Directorate and its Supervisory Board delayed his discharge for a year under discretionary legal provisions. He was freed on Friday after spending more than three decades in prison, including the last ten years with Ocalan in the high-security Imrali Island facility. His release coincided with a visit by a delegation from the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM) to Imrali, part of ongoing mediation efforts in what is being described as a new phase in the peace process. The Turkish-Kurdish dialogue was quietly restarted in late 2024 after multiple failed attempts in past decades. Turkish media described Aktas' release as a goodwill gesture aimed at advancing negotiations to end the PKK's long-running armed campaign. During this current initiative, Aktas appeared twice in public: first on February delivering a message on Ocalan's behalf, and again on July 9 in newly released video footage featuring the PKK leader. A native of Diyarbakır, Aktas was arrested in 1994 on charges of attempting to secede part of Turkiye's territory and sentenced to life imprisonment.
