US Ambassador To Japan To Skip Nagasaki Peace Ceremony

U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel speaks during an interview with Reuters in Tokyo

US Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel will not attend Nagasaki's peace ceremony due to Israel's exclusion from the annual commemoration of the 1945 atomic bombing of the city, as confirmed by the embassy.

The ceremony, set to take place at Nagasaki Peace Park on Friday, will see diplomats from over 100 countries observing a minute of silence to mark the dropping of the second atomic bomb by the US during World War II in Japan.
