Exclusive Ambassadors to Japan from five countries， including the US and the UK， intend to skip the Nagasaki Peace Memorial Ceremony following Nagasaki City’s decision not to invite Israel．

It has been learned that the ambassadors of at least five countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, have indicated their intention to skip the Peace Memorial Ceremony to be held in Nagasaki on the 9th. The reason is that Israel has not been invited. It has been learned that the ambassadors of at least five countries to Japan – the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Australia – have indicated their intention to simultaneously skip the peace memorial ceremony to be held in Nagasaki the day after tomorrow on “Atomic Bomb Day.” The reason for this is that the city of Nagasaki did not invite Israel, which continues its attacks on the Palestinian territories of Gaza, to the ceremony. A U.S. government official told JNN, “The mayor of Nagasaki has politicized this issue.” Instead of attending the ceremony in Nagasaki, U.S. Ambassador to Japan Emanuel will attend a memorial service for the victims of the atomic bomb in Tokyo. Regarding this matter, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi stated at a press conference, “The decision on who to invite is made by the organizer, the city of Nagasaki, and the government is not in a position to comment.” tbs television.
