Families of Israeli diplomats in Japan return home
The families of diplomats serving in Tokyo decided to return to Israel following the massive quake in Japan. A Foreign Ministry official told Ynet the decision is not related to international fears that Japan's nuclear fuel will melt.
"Tokyo is in chaos, suffering from secondary quakes," he mentioned. "Therefore we offered the families the option to return to Israel." The Foreign Ministry stressed that the embassy in Tokyo continues to operate as usual. (Ronen Medzini)
