Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made the remarks during his speech at the Japanese National Diet on Tuesday. One week has passed since a video of two Japanese captives being held by IS was released and later, one of the two captives, Haruna Yukawa, was killed. Abe said that his government was doing everything for the release of journalist Kenji Goto, including asking for help from Jordan and other Middle East countries.
