Israel and Japan are friends? No shit.
Pic related is how Netanyahu treated the former Prime Minister Abe in 2018.
The dessert of the dinner was served on the boot-shaped dishes and the dishes were on the cloths that imitate Tatami mat.

Obviously, this presentation of the dessert depicts the behaviour of entering the Japanese house with the shoes on, which is the utmost discourtesy in Japan.

During this visit to the middle east, PM Abe declared 2 things that Netanyahu wouldn't like.
1. PM Abe supports a ‘two-state solution’ in which Israel and Palestine coexist.
2. PM Abe made clear his opposition to the US plan to move its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Abe also promised 10 million tonnes of food aid to Palestine.
