In a phone call on Wednesday, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman expressed their commitment to collaborate and improve the humanitarian conditions in Gaza, as well as ease tensions in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The Japanese government released a statement highlighting their agreement to maintain close cooperation between the two countries and work towards calming the situation.

As this year's chair of the Group of Seven (G7) advanced economies, Japan announced plans to provide $10 million in emergency humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza. This aid aims to address the urgent needs and alleviate the suffering of those affected by the ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden arrived in Israel and expressed solidarity in Israel's war against Hamas. He addressed a tragic incident where a Gaza hospital was engulfed in a fireball, resulting in a large number of Palestinian casualties. President Biden stated that based on the information he had seen, it appeared that the blast was caused by Israel's adversaries and not by Israel itself.

However, he acknowledged that there are conflicting reports and a need to overcome various challenges in order to ascertain the truth. Biden's trip to the Middle East was intended to bring calm to the region while demonstrating unwavering US support for Israel. The Israeli government, committed to eradicating the Hamas movement, is closely watched by the international community, including other democracies like the United States.

The actions and decisions made by Israel and its allies in response to the conflict will have significant implications. Overall, the agreement between Prime Minister Kishida and Crown Prince bin Salman, together with Japan's commitment to provide emergency aid, reflects a concerted effort by international leaders to address the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza and ease tensions in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The visit of President Biden further underscores the importance placed on finding a peaceful resolution to the ongoing crisis.
