Israeli FM Gideon Sa’ar lauds Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi’s decisive snap‑election victory and vows to deepen strategic ties between the two allies.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar on Sunday congratulated Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on her “decisive victory” after her ruling Liberal Democratic Party secured a commanding supermajority in a snap election earlier in the day.
“Israel highly values its partnership with Japan and looks forward to deepening our cooperation across all fields and strengthening the close ties between our countries,” tweeted Jerusalem’s top diplomat.
The party of Japan’s first-ever female prime minister won 316 of 465 seats in the lower house, giving it a standalone two‑thirds supermajority, while the broader ruling coalition with the Japan Innovation Party secured 352 seats.
