US AMBASSADOR to Japan Rahm Emanuel will skip this year’s atomic bombing memorial service in Nagasaki because Israel was not invited, the embassy said today.
Mr Emanuel will not attend the event on Friday because it was “politicised” by Nagasaki’s decision not to invite Israel, the embassy said.
He will instead honour the victims of the Nagasaki atomic bombing at a ceremony at a Buddhist temple in Tokyo, it said.
