#2 My initial thought would be for Israel to 'unleash' MOSSAD to do a snatch n' grab to bring her back to continue her life sentence, but this incident will most likely be swept quickly under the rug. Israel will want Japan's backing when they move against Iran. Japan will want Israel's backing when China moves against Taiwan. Why ruffle feathers!
