US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Japan for a meeting of G7 foreign ministers to discuss the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. The Israeli military has been bombing Gaza since October 7, resulting in a high death toll, including many civilians. The US has resisted calling for a ceasefire, while France has advocated for a humanitarian truce. The G7 is also expected to discuss the Ukraine war and potentially moderate its language regarding China. Additionally, the meeting will focus on deepening ties with Central Asia.
