G7 FMs warn against ‘broader regional conflict’ due to ‘actions and counter-reactions’

NEW YORK — The foreign ministers of the Group of Seven (G7) major democracies warn that actions and counter-actions in the Middle East risk dragging the region into a broader conflict that no country would gain from.

“Actions and counter-reactions risk magnifying this dangerous spiral of violence and dragging the entire Middle East into a broader regional conflict with unimaginable consequences,” the G7 says in a statement after meeting on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.

“They called for a stop to the current destructive cycle, while emphasizing that no country stands to gain from a further escalation in the Middle East.”
