What will happen next: Suzuki will resign, apologising for having brought disgrace on Japan and fall on his sword (at least metaphorically). Kishida flies to Jerusalem for talks with Netanyahu, after which he announces increased ties between the Japanese and Israeli defence sectors and a number of other measures. Finally, the US does not withdraw its troops from Japan and Japan does not become a PRC protectorate.
