Tw years after the outbreak of the Gaza conflict, Japan remains deeply affected by the loss of over 67,000 lives. The article explores the sequence of events leading up to this momentous anniversary. It further examines the aftermath of the conflict, its impact on the international political stage, and Japan's stance and response. In spite of efforts towards peace and reconciliation, the situation in Gaza remains tense and volatile.

Japan has continually expressed its condolences and continues to provide economic and humanitarian aid to Gazan inhabitants. The Gaza conflict resonates with Japan's post-WWII pacifist constitution and its commitment to international peace. Public opinion tends to empathize with the victims and support humanitarian efforts.

Compared to the US and EU, Japan's involvement with the Middle East conflicts tends to be more focused on humanitarian aid and less on direct political intervention. While the US and EU take more active roles due to political ties, Japan maintains its stance majorly as a supportive actor, advocating peace and providing assistance.
