Japanese consulates should be able to issue emergency passports. What is going on here?

They can and do. This looks like a case in which the victim was unaware and was not adequately informed by the Japanese embassy in Budapest which was negligent to say the least.

The woman's ex-husband was Irish unless he had dual nationality and if so not the native place of neither.

> After divorcing in 2023, the woman had been unable to return to Japan with their two children as her ex-husband had taken their passports, according to the lawyer and supporters.

Whether she had passports or not is irrelavent regarding child abduction. According to the Hague, taking her two children back to Japan without her husband's consent is tantamount to "child abduction"

If Japan had signed the hair convention it would've worked against her; If she could get back to Japan, the exhusband would've had a legal option to interfere.

The Hague would have worked against her, as courts abroad rule for joint custody in the country of residence...not the mother's native country. That means in order to stay with her child, she must stay in the abusive husband's native land where she has little to no support, friends or family and often can't speak the language adequately enough to be independent . This is why Japan doesn't intervene when mothers from failed marriages (with abusive spouses) return with their children. Foreign spouses rarely go to court over custody in Japan...More often then not they lure their wives abroad then take them to court.

 This woman might have still been alive if the Japanese government would have not been so supportive of international child abduction

Mothers are more likely to endure abuse from their spouses if they can’t return to their home country with their children.

This is why Japan thumbs its nose at the Haigue’s parental、 child abduction policies

First direct deaths recorded from Trump's initiatives.

Now do deaths due to the open boarder policy of the Biden Harris administration. I’m sure you’ll find more than 3 backed up by more than “her family said”

 A girft would imply the money that goes to these NGOs is diverted and used for someone's personal gain instead.

Yes...that's exactly what "grift" means.

Go look at the list...and the excessive expenditures for each...then pretend there is no grift involved

except for the minuscule DEI budget,

That minuscule DEI budget could have been use for North Carolina flood victims who were told the government doesn't have enough money to adequately help them.

We will never hear the true story so useless to surmise anything.

was probably assuming that calling out a 3 yen shortfall gave him moral authority to impose his will on some foreigner knowing that the ‘rules’ had been broken.

From "useless to surmise anything" to "was probably..."

The lack of self-awareness is remarkable on these pages.

Hamas will not give up the upper hand. They will rather die first.

All reports indicate that 70–80% of the casualties in Gaza have been women and children. In other words they’ll let their women and children die first while they seek cover underground or in the luxurious confines of Qatar

Heres an idea.

Gaza reconstructed sector by sector with the Palestinians remaining in Gaza, the one group returns to live in the reconstructed area

Next area reconstructed ect...until all areas have housing

Then the spaces left for hospitals and education are built.

Then places of worship.

Dont have to clear the entire area before even one dwelling can be built.

Build the place in segments.

I like that idea. However, as noted in the press conference, there are some 30,000 unexploded bombs that need to be extracted.
