Israel’s ground and air assault on Gaza, which was triggered by a Hamas attack that saw nearly 1,200 Israelis killed and more than 250 taken hostage in October 2023, has since left over 46,000 Palestinians dead and more than 110,000 wounded, according to the Gaza health ministry.
His government was also working on a programme to enable students from Gaza to study at Japanese universities, Kyodo News quoted the prime minister as saying.
"We are making efforts to find ways to accept people in Japan who have fallen ill or been injured in Gaza," Mr Ishiba told the Japanese parliament on Monday.
Japan was exploring ways to provide medical treatment to Palestinians from the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, prime minister Shigeru Ishiba said.
Ruling that his case should be recognised as “objective facts exist that would put him in fear of persecution”, the court criticised the Japanese government for “lacking an understanding of the situation of those who apply for refugee status”, Asahi Shimbun reported.
