Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has told the Palestinian leader that Japan does not plan to relocate its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Abe met with President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank on Tuesday, while touring the Middle East.
He will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday.
The United States recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital last December.
Abe told Abbas that Japan supports a 2-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, whereby Israel and a future Palestinian state coexist. He said his government is resolved to actively contribute to achieving peace in the region.
He said Japan will provide political and financial support for Palestinian statehood.
He also said the United States has a crucial role in achieving peace, and he urged Abbas to accept any offer of negotiations from Washington.
He said confidence-building is needed to resume dialogue. He said the Japan-led Corridor for Peace and Prosperity is aimed at supporting Palestine's economic independence.
Abe said he plans to extend this project to help develop logistics networks, and that Japan will provide food aid worth about 10 million dollars.
Abbas said Abe's offers give hope to the Palestinian people.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in has asked the United Nations to help verify the planned shutdown of North Korea's nuclear test site.
South Korea's presidential office says Moon made the request by phone to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday.
Moon explained that the North's leader Kim Jong Un promised at the recent inter-Korean summit to invite experts from the South and the United States, as well as journalists, to verify the closure.
Moon asked that the UN play a role in confirming the North's commitment to denuclearization.
He also called on the UN to monitor the implementation of a summit agreement to turn the demilitarized zone into a genuine peace belt.
Guterres reportedly said the requests need approval by the UN Security Council, but that he's willing to cooperate, as he hopes to help work for peace on the Korean Peninsula.

The World Health Organization says an estimated 7 million people die each year due to polluted air.
The WHO released its latest findings on Wednesday.
It has been measuring average annual levels of PM2.5 and other air pollutants in more than 4,300 cities worldwide.
It estimated that as a result of exposure to polluted air, around 7 million people per year die from such causes as lung cancer and heart disease.
It said more than 90 percent of air pollution-related deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, mainly in Asia and Africa.
It added that in 2016, household air pollution caused the deaths of an estimated 3.8 million people who used polluting fuels for cooking and heating.
It said indoor air pollution is a serious health risk for around 3 billion people, most of them women and children.
The WHO said air pollution does not recognize borders and stressed the need to promote development of renewable energies.

Japan's Fujifilm Holdings is likely to review its plan to buy the US firm Xerox Corp, after Xerox's CEO and most of its board stepped down.
The 2 companies agreed in January this year that Fujifilm would purchase Xerox Corp and merge it with its existing subsidiary Fuji Xerox. Fujifilm said the move was to increase competitiveness.
But major Xerox shareholders including Carl Icahn have opposed the deal, saying it undervalues Xerox.
Last Friday, a New York court temporarily blocked merger procedures.
Xerox announced on Tuesday it had reached a settlement with Icahn and other opposing shareholders.
The company said its CEO Jeff Jacobson and 6 other board members will step down and be replaced by officials backed by opposition shareholders.
Icahn said in a statement that with new leadership, Xerox will be much better positioned to take advantage of value-enhancing opportunities, including restructuring its relationship with Fujifilm.
Fujifilm has expressed serious concerns over the developments. In a statement, it described the purchase as the best available option, and one that would be of huge benefit to shareholders on both sides. It urged Xerox's new board members to implement the agreed plan.
Fujifilm says it will appeal last week's court decision to block the merger.
