US, other G7 nations shun A-bomb anniv in Nagasaki over Israel snub

Nagasaki commemorated the 79th anniversary of its WWII atomic bombing, but the event was marked by the absence of the US ambassador and other G7 envoys due to the city’s decision not to invite Israel. PM Fumio Kishida reiterated his promise for a nuclear-free world, despite criticism. US ambassador criticized the exclusion of Israel, calling it a political decision.
