US President Calls for Ceasefire in Israel

The US President has urged Israel to halt its military operations. This intervention comes as an attempt to halt escalating tensions in the Middle-Eastern region. The plea for a ceasefire indicates a significant shift in US policy and an attempt to maintain peace and stability in the international scenario.

As Japan maintains a pacifist constitution after World War II, it keeps a vested interest in maintaining global peace. While it has no direct involvement in the Middle-East conflict, this issue grabs attention in Japan due to its potential implications on the global political landscape and Japan's alliance with the U.S.

US involvement in conflicts is more direct due to its global police role and several defense treaties. European countries, like Japan, often prefer diplomatic and non-military responses due to their pacifist stances, regional integration concepts and EU's collective foreign policy nature.
