Over 80 percent of Japanese are worried about an impact on their daily lives of conflict in the Middle East which the Asian country heavily relies on for its oil needs, a Kyodo News survey showed Sunday.
In the nationwide telephone poll, the public approval rating for Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's Cabinet fell back to 32.5 percent from 37.0 percent in the previous survey a week ago.
The two-day survey from Saturday was conducted to gauge voters' views on the government's performance and policies as well as key societal issues after the end of the ordinary Diet session.

Tomin First Certain to Win Top Share in Tokyo Assembly
News from Japan Society Jun 23, 2025 01:02 (JST) Tokyo, June 23 (Jiji Press)--Tomin First no Kai (Tokyoites first group) is certain to overtake the Liberal Democratic Party as the largest force in the Tokyo metropolitan assembly in Sunday's election. The LDP, which forms a ruling coalition with Komeito in national politics, is expected to see its Tokyo assembly share fall, in a blow to Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, president of the LDP, ahead of the House of Councillors election next month. Komeito failed to see all of its candidates elected, for the first time in nine metropolitan assembly elections. Tomin First, a regional party with Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike as special adviser, the LDP and Komeito, all of which support the governor, are certain to maintain their combined majority in the assembly. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party for the People and Sanseito won their first seats in the Tokyo assembly. [Copyright The Jiji Press, Ltd.] Jiji Press

U.S. Wants Japan to Raise Defense Spending to 5% of GDP; Pentagon Spokesperson Calls it ‘Common Sense' to Match Europe
WASHINGTON — The United States believes its allies in Asia, including Japan, should increase their defense spending to 5% of gross domestic product, according to a Pentagon spokesperson. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is considering proposing its member states raise their defense spending targets from 2% to 5% of GDP. NATO is envisaging a plan to set conventional defense spending, such as weapons purchases, at 3.5% and allocate 1.5% for defense-related expenses, such as the renovation of military roads. The Japanese government is proceeding with a plan to increase its security-related expenditures, including defense spending, from the current level of about 1.8% of the fiscal 2022 GDP to 2% in fiscal 2027. 'It is only common sense for Asia-Pacific allies to move rapidly to step up to match Europe's pace and level of defense spending,' Sean Parnell, chief spokesperson of the U.S. Defense Department, said in a statement, responding to a question by The Yomiuri Shimbun. To counter China and North Korea, Parnell stressed Japan should be in line with '5% of GDP spending on defense' — the target being mulled by NATO member states.

Japan vigilant amid Iran conflict, mum on support for U.S. attacks
KYODO NEWS - 6 hours ago - 18:31 | All, Japan Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said Sunday that Japan is monitoring with "grave concern" the developments in the Middle East after the United States attacked Iranian nuclear facilities, though he refrained from expressing immediate support for the military action taken by its closest ally. Speaking to reporters, Ishiba underscored the importance of de-escalating the situation while stressing that Iran's nuclear development must be "blocked." Japan has traditionally maintained amicable ties with Iran even as its security alliance with the United States has remained strong. Stability in the Middle East is important for resource-scarce Japan, given its heavy dependence on the region for crude oil. While no immediate impact on energy supplies has been confirmed, Ishiba said he has instructed officials to closely monitor the situation with urgency and take all necessary measures. "We are gathering and analyzing information and closely monitoring developments with grave concern," Ishiba said. Asked whether Japan backs the U.S. attacks, Ishiba said, "I will answer the question when appropriate," after holding discussions within the government on the matter. The attacks on three key nuclear facilities have brought the United States into Israel's war against Iran, with President Donald Trump saying Saturday the airstrikes had "completely and totally obliterated" the facilities. Another batch of evacuated Japanese nationals and their family members, totaling 21, arrived by bus in Azerbaijan from Iran on Sunday, with none of them having any health issues, according to the Foreign Ministry. Their departure came after 87 Japanese nationals and their family members left Iran and Israel on Thursday. Around 200 Japanese nationals remain in Iran, while around 1,000 are still in Israel, according to the ministry. Israel and Iran have been engaged in open warfare since the former attacked Iranian nuclear facilities and military targets on June 13, claiming that Iran was close to obtaining a nuclear weapon despite its denials.
