Japan has approved scrapping most restrictions on overseas arms sales, paving the way for warships, tanks and missiles to be exported.
Tokyo says this will strengthen the country's defence and deter potential threats from regional powers.
But Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's government emphasised the country will continue to uphold the principles of a peace-loving nation.
Currently, Japan has defence transfer agreements with 17 countries including the UAE, the US, and India.
Takuya Matsuda is an assistant professor at Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo.
He says the move positions Japan to strengthen its role as a regional power capable of managing any longer-term conflict.

The Department of War has released a video it says shows US forces boarding a sanctioned tanker in the Asia Pacific region as part of their efforts to disrupt vessels providing support to Iran.
As uncertainty persists over whether the Iran-US talks will go ahead in Islamabad, one analyst is urging caution.
“This is what they call the fog of war, except this is the fog of peace,” said Ahmed Helal, managing director for the Gulf region at the Asia Group. “No one knows who’s going to be there.”
Helal, speaking to Al Jazeera from Doha, said the tone from both sides remains deeply concerning. “I would put my money on things getting worse before they get better because the tone is increasingly bellicose from both sides.”

Asian stock markets rallied on Tuesday despite uncertainty over US-Iran peace talks, with tech stocks driving gains across the region.
South Korea's Kospi and Taiwan's stock market hit record highs, fuelled by semiconductor demand and strong export data.
Japan's Nikkei also advanced as Tokyo announced its biggest overhaul of arms export rules in decades, ending longstanding restrictions on overseas weapons sales.
However, analysts warn that shipping disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz could persist for months, even if Washington and Tehran reach an agreement in Islamabad.

Spain’s foreign minister has warned the EU risks losing credibility if it fails to apply the same principles to Israel’s “perpetual war” in the Middle East as it does to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He urged a unified stance, citing human rights clauses in the EU–Israel agreement and criticising ongoing violence in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.
Israel's military continues to occupy towns and villages in southern Lebanon, while the temporary 10-day ceasefire, set to expire on Sunday, remains fragile. The United States is bringing together Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors for a second meeting on Thursday to discuss extending the truce. Negotiations face obstacles over differing agendas: Lebanon wants Israel to withdraw, while Israel demands Hezbollah's disarmament. Hezbollah has called on the Lebanese government not to engage in direct talks with Israel, arguing it should instead link with broader regional diplomacy involving Iran. Many displaced people remain reluctant to return home amid ongoing insecurity and Israeli demolitions.

Uncertainty surrounds whether a second round of US-Iran negotiations in Pakistan’s capital can deliver anything. Tehran had signalled they would not be joining the US delegation while a naval blockade on Iranian ports remains in force.
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari held his weekly press briefing in Doha, announcing that the Amir had received Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif last Thursday and expressed appreciation for Pakistan’s role in de-escalating tensions and promoting peace in the region.
Al-Ansari said Qatar is “supporting fully the efforts of our brothers in Pakistan” to mediate between the United States and Iran, noting ongoing contacts with all parties involved. He stressed that Qatar views mediation not as a “media show” but as an “effective role” aimed at advancing political solutions.
On the Strait of Hormuz, he warned that any disruption “will transfer this crisis to the international world,” affecting global energy markets as well as electricity and heating supplies. He said Qatar remains committed to its energy partners and can be “trusted very well throughout history.”
He confirmed continued direct contacts with Iran, including a recent call between the Prime Minister and the Iranian foreign minister, urging restraint and a return to peaceful dialogue.
On the ceasefire, al-Ansari said contingency plans are in place for Qatar’s national defence, with armed forces remaining on alert, while diplomatic efforts continue with all parties to extend the ceasefire or end hostilities.
He also condemned Israeli attacks on Lebanon, reaffirming Qatar’s support for Lebanon’s sovereignty and unity, and said both sides participated seriously in the first round of talks in Islamabad, while noting that contradictory reports are being closely monitored with concern.

For weeks, a US-Israel war on Iran pushed the Gulf to the brink. But the real battleground wasn’t in the air. It was the Strait of Hormuz. This narrow chokepoint, connecting the Gulf to global shipping routes, carries about 20 million barrels of oil a day, nearly a fifth of global supply, making it critical to the global economy, energy markets, and supply chains.
As tensions escalated, Iran did not fully close the strait. Instead, it reshaped it into a system of control, using drones, naval threats, and uncertainty to disrupt shipping. Traffic dropped, oil prices surged, and global trade slowed, affecting Asia, Europe, and beyond. Some vessels were allowed through, others blocked, and some reportedly paid transit fees, turning Hormuz into a strategic “toll system”.
US President Donald Trump responded with a naval blockade, escalating a geopolitical standoff, as ceasefire talks in Islamabad failed. The situation remains uncertain: Partial reopening, conditional access, and conflicting claims highlight a new reality.
This is no longer just about oil or war. The Strait of Hormuz has evolved from a threat into a playbook in which leverage, not firepower, shapes outcomes.

In Gaza, Israel's ongoing war has inflicted severe and lasting damage on children, with around 1.1 million now requiring mental health care and other support, according to the UN.
Some children, affected by shock or injuries from attacks, have lost the ability to speak.
Five year old Jad Zohud stopped speaking after Israeli bombs struck near his home, while four year old Lucine Tamboura was left unable to speak after falling from a collapsed staircase damaged in a strike. Specialists warn that without proper care, these conditions could affect children's development for years, but therapists are working under mounting pressure with limited resources.

Tens of thousands of Afghans have been displaced by recent fighting along the Pakistan border, forced into tents with little access to food, healthcare, or education. Pakistan says its strikes target armed groups attacking its territory, but displaced families now fear for their safety and are uncertain if they will ever return home.
As a second round of Israel–Lebanon talks is expected on Thursday, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has issued strong threats against Hezbollah, warning leader Naim Qasem he “will pay the price with his head,” while also cautioning the Lebanese government it will “pay a heavy price” if it fails to disarm the group.
Speaking during Israel’s Memorial Day commemorations, Katz said he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had instructed the army to continue operations in southern Lebanon against any threats, projecting a message of strength and defiance.
The remarks come as Israel faces domestic pressure and unpopularity after being compelled to observe ceasefires linked to President Donald Trump’s announcements on Iran and Lebanon.
While Israeli officials have insisted the two fronts remain separate, they are now seeking to rally support among communities in northern Israel.
At the same time, officials are viewing the upcoming Islamabad talks with scepticism, signalling expectations of failure and indicating readiness to resume strikes in both Iran and Lebanon.

3D-printed technology is being used to help Palestinian children who were injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza but their treatment is at risk due to Israeli restrictions on supplies and aid organisations.
As the two-week ceasefire deadline between Iran and the United States approaches, tensions remain high ahead of expected talks in Islamabad, despite indications both sides may still pursue diplomacy.
Mohamad Elmasry, professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, told Al Jazeera the situation is “very precarious”, saying Washington “miscalculated” by declaring victory after Iran opened the Strait of Hormuz instead of also de-escalating, making negotiations more difficult following the US seizure of an Iranian cargo ship.
He said neither side has an appetite for renewed war but both are seeking an “off ramp”, warning positions have hardened, with the IRGC gaining greater influence during wartime. Elmasry added Iran may compromise on some of its demands but “won’t surrender all of them”.
Nilofer Afridi Qazi, a public policy specialist, told Al Jazeera from Islamabad that Pakistan is working “25-7” to move the dialogue forward, with expectations both sides will attend a second round of talks.
Elmasry described Pakistan as a “perfect mediator” due to its ties with both sides, helping bridge a “fundamental lack of trust”.
Qazi said mixed messaging is not unique to Iran, pointing to multiple centres of power globally and highlighting the “elephant in the room” — Israel’s influence on US decision-making — which she warned could undermine the peace process.
Both guests said talks are likely, but cautioned progress will be difficult amid rising tensions, hardened positions and deep mistrust.

Video shows two ultra-Orthodox Jews tearing down Israeli flags from streetlight poles in Beit Shemesh, drawing protests from passersby. Israeli media reports said two people were arrested over the incident.
Video captured the moment a tiger leapt over a barrier at a circus in Russia, causing panic in the audience. Trainers tried to regain control as the tiger roamed the seats, while attendees sat motionless or tried to flee. Russian media reports that no injuries were recorded.
Amnesty International’s Secretary General Agnes Callamard says ‘voracious predators’ like the US, Israel and Russia have waged war on civilians with impunity and destroyed the international order based on global human rights.
Voters in the U.S. state of Virginia are casting their final ballots on a key measure that could reshape federal congressional districts — and potentially shift the balance of power in Washington.
The proposed changes could give an advantage to the Democratic Party, possibly helping them secure a majority in the United States House of Representatives, where control currently hinges on just a handful of seats.
At the same time, other states are pursuing their own redistricting efforts, backed by a broader push from the White House, aimed at creating districts more favorable to the Republican Party.
The outcome in Virginia could play a decisive role in shaping the political landscape ahead of upcoming elections.
Al Jazeera's Rosiland Jordan has more from Alexandria, Virginia on what could change.

Thousands of families in Afghanistan have been forced into displacement camps following escalating clashes near the border with Pakistan.
In mountainous regions near the Kunar area, displaced civilians are now living in makeshift tents with limited access to food, healthcare, and education. Many say they fled after shelling hit their villages, destroying homes and schools.
Pakistan’s military says it carried out strikes targeting armed groups, including the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, which it claims operate from Afghan territory. However, Afghan authorities deny these accusations, further complicating tensions between the two countries.
According to the United Nations, nearly 60,000 people have been displaced in eastern and southeastern Afghanistan due to the recent fighting.

The UK prime minister is rejecting calls to resign, instead blaming the Foreign Office for allegedly withholding concerns about Peter Mandelson’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Keir Starmer says he did not know Mandelson had failed the vetting process when he appointed him ambassador to the US.
Ukraine says it has carried out another major strike on a Russian oil refinery, targeting a key facility on the Black Sea coast.
The attack hit infrastructure near the Tuapse seaport—one of Russia’s critical export hubs—triggering a large fire and reportedly killing at least one person, with another injured.
Ukrainian military officials say the strike is part of a broader strategy to disrupt Moscow’s war funding by targeting energy exports. It marks the second attack on the same refinery within days, highlighting an intensified campaign against Russia’s oil infrastructure.
However, the strikes come amid growing international tension.
Some European allies have reportedly urged Volodymyr Zelenskyy to scale back attacks on Russian energy assets, fearing further escalation and economic fallout.
At the same time, the United States has extended a sanctions waiver allowing certain Russian oil shipments to continue until mid-May—creating a complex backdrop where military action and economic policy appear to diverge.

Activists with the Global Sumud Flotilla have disrupted the MSC Maya, a cargo ship they believe was carrying materials used for Israeli weapons to the ports of Ashdod and Haifa. The vessel is operated by the Mediterranean Shipping Company, which Al Jazeera confirms has carried hundreds of shipments to and from illegal Israeli settlements.
A major new report by Amnesty International warns that the global human rights system is facing unprecedented collapse, describing the current moment as a “systemic breakdown.”
The report singles out key world leaders—including Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin—accusing them of fueling conflicts and undermining international law for power and control.
According to Amnesty, violations range from alleged war crimes in Ukraine to accusations of genocide in Gaza Strip. The report also criticizes global powers for weakening institutions like the International Criminal Court.
Amnesty’s Secretary General Agnès Callamard described it as one of the most alarming reports in the organization’s history, warning that “humanity is under attack” and accusing governments worldwide of silence, complicity, or inaction.

Outrage continues to grow over the Israeli soldier who was photographed desecrating a statue of Jesus Christ in southern Lebanon, including among Trump’s former MAGA allies. From a Polish MP to a Palestinian theologian, observers say it reveals a wider pattern.
A second round of talks between Israel and Lebanon is set to take place in Washington, D.C., as tensions remain high following months of conflict.
Lebanon’s president has appointed former ambassador Simon Karam to lead negotiations, emphasizing that Lebanon will act independently and reject external influence—particularly from Iran. Officials say the talks aim to end hostilities, withdraw Israeli forces from southern Lebanon, and deploy the Lebanese army to internationally recognized borders.
However, divisions remain inside Lebanon. While some groups, including Hezbollah, question direct negotiations with Israel, others see the move as a critical step toward restoring national sovereignty and preventing further escalation.
On the Israeli side, the government is reportedly reluctant but engaged under pressure. Israeli demands remain high, including disarming Hezbollah—an objective analysts warn could destabilize Lebanon further and even risk civil war.
Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation continues to worsen.
Israeli air strikes across southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley have caused widespread destruction, with thousands of casualties reported since the conflict intensified. Civilians describe homes destroyed, families displaced, and entire communities left uncertain about their future.

Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz continue to escalate despite ongoing ceasefire efforts, as Iran signals reluctance to join diplomatic negotiations.
In the past 24 hours, high-level calls between Iranian and Pakistani officials have failed to produce a breakthrough, with Tehran citing U.S. actions—including the seizure of an Iranian cargo vessel—as a major obstacle to diplomacy. Iranian officials warn that continued military pressure and maritime confrontations could trigger retaliation, although restraint has so far been exercised to avoid civilian casualties.
The situation in the Strait remains extremely fragile. Iranian forces have tightened control over shipping lanes, while the United States Navy continues operations in the region, raising fears of further escalation.
Meanwhile, China has expressed concern over rising tensions and is increasingly seen as a key diplomatic player behind the scenes. Analysts suggest Beijing may step in more visibly if negotiations fail to progress, given its strong economic dependence on Middle Eastern energy flows.
Geopolitical experts say Iran’s hesitation to negotiate is strategic aimed at avoiding the perception of weakness while expanding talks beyond nuclear issues to include sanctions relief and security guarantees. However, the risk of renewed conflict remains high, with global markets reacting cautiously.
