TOKYO, Friday, January 5, 2024 (WAFA) – Japan today expressed concern over comments by two Israeli ministers in the occupation government calling for the resettlement of Palestinians outside of the Gaza Strip and the reconstruction of settlements there.

Press Secretary Kobayashi Maki stressed in a statement that settlement activities violate international law and undermine the viability of a two-state solution. Taking into account the critical humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, such inflammatory remarks that increase tensions are unacceptable, and Japan calls for refraining from irresponsible words and actions.”
