Japan Urges Israel to Ensure Unimpeded Humanitarian Access to Gaza
Japanese State Minister for Foreign Affairs Ayano Kunimitsu raised concerns over Gaza aid access and Israeli settlement activity during a meeting with Israel's ambassador-designate to Japan.
Japan has called on Israel to guarantee unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza, according to Anadolu Agency, citing a meeting between Japanese State Minister for Foreign Affairs Ayano Kunimitsu and Emanuel Navon, Israel's ambassador-designate to Japan.
During the meeting, Kunimitsu reportedly expressed Japan's concern over what were described as illegal settlement activities, according to the report.
Further details of the discussion, including the exact date and location of the meeting, were not immediately available in the source report.
Japan's position aligns with statements from other countries and international bodies that have called for sustained humanitarian aid to reach civilians in Gaza amid the ongoing conflict.
The report did not include a response from Navon or the Israeli government regarding Japan's statements.
