"North Korean Foreign Ministry has issued a statement demanding that Israel immediately stop construction of a "security" wall it is building on the West Bank of the Jordan.

Erection of the wall under the pretext of fighting with terrorism is an act of illegal incursion into the Palestinian territory, the Foreign Ministry said.

Construction of the Israeli "security" fence poses a serious problem in Israel's relations with Arab countries and causes concern far beyond the Middle East region, the statement said."
