A Japanese hotel has refused entry to an Israeli man over his ties to the occupying regime’s forces.

Hotel Material located in Higashiyama Ward of Japan’s industrial city of Kyoto refused accommodation to the client, citing possible ties between the man and the Israeli regime’s military, which launched a genocidal war against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip in October, media reported on Friday.

The Israeli regime’s embassy in Tokyo criticized the hotel’s move, calling the incident “a clear case of discrimination that is not in line with Japan’s business law”.

However, the Japanese hotel declined to comment on the matter, saying a lawyer representing the Hotel Material was handling the legal issue.

Israel has been waging an atrocious onslaught against the Gaza Strip, targeting hospitals, residences, and houses of worship after Palestinian resistance movements launched a surprise attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, on October 7.
