The G7 leaders have issued a joint statement condemning Iran's direct attack against Israel in the strongest terms. The virtual meeting, chaired by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, expressed full solidarity and support to Israel and its people, reaffirming their commitment to Israel's security.
The statement highlighted that Iran's actions have escalated tensions in the region and risked provoking further instability. The G7 leaders emphasized the need to avoid uncontrollable regional escalation and pledged to work towards stabilizing the situation.
The leaders demanded that Iran and its proxies cease their attacks, warning of potential further measures in response to destabilizing initiatives. The recent clashes in the Middle East, following Hamas' attacks and Israeli offensive in Gaza, have heightened violence across the region.
The US has also increased its presence in the Middle East in response to the escalating situation. The G7's united stance underscores the importance of de-escalation and maintaining peace in the region.
