Nagasaki mayor defends decision not to invite Israel to atomic bomb memorial
Ambassadors from several Western countries have pulled out of an event in Japan to commemorate the victims of the bombing of Nagasaki. That’s after the mayor refused to invite Israeli officials.
Tens of thousands of people were killed when the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on the city in 1945.
