WWIII - Seoul, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman's remarks, calling North Korean leader Kim Jong-un a crazy and radical one make Pyongyang angry. Pyongyang calls Israel a threat to world peace, having a nuclear weapon but refuses to recognize it.

Lieberman made the remark at once denounced the United States' (US) commitment to address the global threat posed by North Korea's nuclear weapons. The reason, it will cause Washington divert security sources from the Israeli defense.

After the leader of the North is called a "crazy person," Pyongyang responded by a statement from the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

"The reckless comments from the Israeli defense minister are dirty and nasty behavior and a formidable challenge for the DPRK (People's Democratic Republic of Korea)," according to KCNA, as quoted by Sputniknews, Sunday (30/4/2017).

"This is a cynical way to escape the criticism and curse of the world as a pacifist of peace in the Middle East, the invaders of the Arab region and perpetrators of crimes against humanity," the KCNA statement said. Pyongyang has sharply observed that Israel is the only country in the Middle East that illegally has nuclear weapons.

In stating that Israel, through the voice of Lieberman, has hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership, Pyongyang warned that Jerusalem would get what KCNA calls a merciless punishment a thousandfold.

But the North Korean state outlet media did not explain the form of punishment from the threat.

"Jerusalem should think twice about the consequences that dirty campaigns will have against the DPRK to cover up the crimes of occupying Arab territory and disrupt the peace process in the Middle East," KCNA threatened.
