Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe attends the flag returning ceremony by Japan's Self-Defense Forces involved in U.N. peacekeeping operations in the Israeli-held Golan Heights at the Defense Ministry in Tokyo Sunday, Jan. 20, 2013. A total of 47-members from the unit returned the team's flag upon coming back to Japan after the government ordered a withdrawal due to worsening security conditions in Syria, concluding Japan's longest-running PKO since 1996.
