The Japanese government, which currently has plans to recognize Palestine, is now discussing not to do so, but its terms.
The statement came from Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa, commenting on the decisions of recognizing the Palestinian statehood by some countries. "It simply came to our notice then.
Based on this, we will carefully follow the future developments and will be careful to discuss this issue, "he said.
Earlier, Japanese Foreign Minister Takesh Ivaya said that Tokya decided not to recognize Palestine during the 80th session of the UN General Assembly.
He also criticized Israel's "unilateral actions" and called for measures to stop the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
