At a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Kishida, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar compared the Zionist regime's bombing of the Gaza Strip in Palestine to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, saying, ``The damage in (Palestinian autonomous region) Gaza is comparable to Hiroshima.'' said. According to Japanese media outlets, Prime Minister Anwar, at a joint press conference with Prime Minister Kishida, stated regarding the fighting between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic resistance movement Hamas, ``The damage in (Palestinian autonomous region) Gaza is comparable to that in Hiroshima,'' and expressed efforts to achieve a ceasefire. He expressed his desire to deepen cooperation in humanitarian assistance. While expressing his support for the Palestinian side, he said, ``Although our position is different from Japan's, the Gaza Strip has suffered damage comparable to Hiroshima due to air strikes. "I would like to praise the humanitarian assistance provided by the Japanese government," he said, citing Hiroshima, where the atomic bomb was dropped, as he praised the Japanese government's support. On Sunday, the 5th, Prime Minister Kishida met with Prime Minister Anwar in Malaysia, where he visited Malaysia, and confirmed that the two countries would accelerate coordination to implement Japan's ``Office Security Capacity Strengthening Assistance (OSA),'' a framework for supporting Japan's like-minded national forces.
