[Global Network Report] According to reports from Japan Broadcasting Association and Tokyo Broadcasting Corporation on the 22nd, Britain, Canada, Australia and other countries announced on the 21st that they officially recognized the Palestinian state. In contrast, the Japanese government announced that it would not recognize the Palestinian state for the time being, which was appreciated by the United States and Israel. Japanese freelance journalist Shiye Ling issued a document on the 22nd saying that the Japanese government's statement benefited Israel, which seriously damaged Japan's international status.

According to reports, Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya announced on the 19th that Japan will not announce its recognition of the Palestinian state during the current UN General Assembly. Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi Fangzheng explained on the 22nd that the Japanese government supports the "two-state solution", but believes that recognizing the Palestinian state now will not help ceasefire and peace in the Middle East.

The position of the Japanese government has been appreciated by the United States and Israel.The Japan Broadcasting Association said that a U.S. State Department spokesman told the media, ¡°The Japanese position is exactly what we want to see, and we support not considering the ¡°two-country¡± solution to the Israeli issue now.¡±

Japanese freedom journalist Zhi Yelin wrote on Yahoo News that the Palestinian state now acknowledges that it is to put pressure on Israel to force it to stop the massacre in the Gaza Strip. Britain, Canada and other countries have announced that they can isolate Israel in the international community, while Japan has announced that it will not recognize Israel. Japan¡¯s position is profited by Israel as a political propaganda material, which seriously damages Japan¡¯s international status and is very negative from the perspective of Japan¡¯s national interests.

There are many Japanese people on the Internet who are dissatisfied with the Japanese government. Some Japanese netizens said, "If the United States doesn't recognize Japan, it won't recognize it. If the United States does, Japan will follow. The only country in the world that is so controlled by the United States is Japan." Others said, "Japan will only obey what the United States says."
