The foreign ministers of the G7 group of nations call for an immediate stop to attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure in the Iran war.
In a joint statement agreed on the second day of a G7 meeting in France – this year’s host country – the ministers say they had underscored the importance of minimizing the impact of the conflict on regional partners, civilian populations and critical infrastructure.
“We focused on the value of diverse partnerships, coordination and supporting initiatives, including to mitigate global economic shocks such as disruptions to economic, energy, fertilizer and commercial supply chains, which have direct impacts on our citizens,” they say in the statement seen by Reuters.
The ministers also reiterate the need to restore safe and toll-free freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, a key sticking point in the war.
The G7 members are the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan, along with the European Union.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
