A hotel in Kyoto, Japan, was recently exposed for canceling a reservation of an Israeli tourist, citing 'war crimes' as the reason, sparking criticism from local officials and a warning being issued. The Israeli Embassy in Tokyo confirmed the incident, where the hotel employee messaged the guest that the booking was canceled due to Israeli Defense Forces committing war crimes in Gaza. The hotel received condemnation for discrimination, and the Kyoto city government harshly criticized them for violating Japan's Hotel Business Law, ensuring strict measures against such incidents. Despite media inquiries, the hotel has remained silent on the matter, with the Embassy hoping for an apology and assuring that legal action was not their aim.
