Japan is finalizing plans not to recognize Palestine as a sovereign state for the time being, following the lead of the United States, a staunch ally of Israel, government sources said.
The move is believed to stem from concerns that such recognition could negatively affect the situation in the Middle East, as well as Japan’s relationship with the United States, the sources said.
Good.
Japan has been the bitch of the United States ever since they had those bombs dropped on them.
It’s important everyone knows who wears the pants in that relationship.
