Western ambassadors skip Nagasaki memorial in protest after Israel's snub, highlighting tensions in international diplomatic relat...
Representational imageAmbassadors from Western countries including the United States will skip a ceremony marking the 79th anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki after Israel was snubbed, officials said Wednesday.
Media reports said that Australia, Italy, Canada and the European Union, who together with the United States, Britain and Germany signed a strongly worded joint letter to Nagasaki's mayor last month, would follow suit. The British embassy said that ambassador Julia Longbottom would also not be in Nagasaki, saying that not inviting Israel"creates an unfortunate and misleading equivalency with Russia and Belarus -- the only other countries not invited to this year's ceremony".
In June Suzuki said Nagasaki had sent a letter to the Israeli embassy calling for an"immediate ceasefire" in Gaza. Cohen told US broadcaster CNN on Monday that the security concerns were"invented" and that he was"really surprised by hijacking this ceremony for his political motivations".
