Japan to recognise Palestine at 'appropriate time'

Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya said on Friday that
Japan will recognize Palestine at a more “appropriate timing,”
confirming previous reports, Azernews reports.

During a phone call with his Palestinian counterpart Farisin
Aghabekian Shaheen, the Japanese official emphasized Tokyo’s
commitment to the two-state solution and noted that Japan would
like to adopt a “deliberate approach” regarding recognition of
Palestine with more “appropriate timing.”

Moreover, Iwaya stressed the urgency of improving the
humanitarian situation in Gaza and noted that the recent Israeli
expansion of operations in Gaza City could “undermine the very
foundation” of the two-state solution.
