In Japan, this news would primarily generate empathy and sympathy amongst the readers. Family values and respect for academic professionals are crucial aspects of Japanese society. Additionally, Japan maintains robust diplomatic relations with both Israel and Palestine, striving for peace in the Middle East, thus such incidents deeply impact Japanese sentiments.

In the US or EU, similar situations are also met with empathy and further ignite the debate on foreign policy, peacekeeping measures and the humanitarian crisis in conflict regions. The incident may well be used to highlight the human cost of continuing conflicts and wars.
