Japan opposes Israel's plan to take control of Gaza
TOKYO: Japan opposes Israel's plan to take control of Gaza as it undermines the realization of a two-state solution, Foreign Minister Iwaya Takeshi said in a statement issued by the ministry on Monday. Japan is strongly concerned that this decision will further exacerbate the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. 'Japan once again urges all parties to return to negotiations and to work in good faith towards a ceasefire and the release of hostages,' Iwaya said. 'Improving the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza is an urgent priority. Japan calls on Israel to take substantive measures to end the serious humanitarian crisis, including starvation, and reiterates our strong demand for its full compliance with international law, including international humanitarian law,' the statement added. Japan has consistently supported a two-state solution, whereby Israel and a future independent Palestinian state live side by side in peace and security, through confidence building and negotiations between the parties. Japan remains committed to continuing to work for its realization, according to the statement. Despite repeated calls for restraint from the international community and humanitarian aid institutions, Israel has continued to push with its attacks on civilian homes, schools, hospitals and even places of worship in Gaza. In its latest move, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his plan to relocate Palestinians from their homes in northern Gaza City to 'safe' ones in the south, ahead of a new offensive to seize control of the the enclave's largest urban center. The plan has raised international alarm over the fate of the devastated strip, home to about 2.2 million people.
