According to the latest monthly survey by Jiji Press, the popularity of the United States among the Japanese public has significantly decreased, falling below 30% for the first time since the beginning of Trump's second term.

We condemn the intervention carried out by Israeli forces in international waters against the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was formed to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, as yet another act of piracy.
The flotilla includes citizens from approximately 40 countries. Israelโs attacks and intimidation policies will in no way deter the international communityโs pursuit of justice and solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Israel must immediately cease its intervention and unconditionally release the detained flotilla participants.
Necessary initiatives are being undertaken to ensure the safe return of our citizens aboard the flotilla to our country, and the process is being closely monitored in cooperation with other countries.
We call on the international community to adopt a united and resolute stance without delay against Israelโs unlawful actions.
