LONDON – Group of Seven (G7) leaders reiterate their deep concern over the crisis in the Middle East and call on players in the region to “act responsibly” and with restraint while repeating their backing for Israel’s security.
“We, the Leaders of the G7, express deep concern over the deteriorating situation in the Middle East … We unequivocally reiterate our commitment to the security of Israel,” a G7 statement provided by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s office reads.
“A dangerous cycle of attacks and retaliation risks fuelling uncontrollable escalation in the Middle East, which is in no one’s interest. Therefore, we call on all regional players to act responsibly and with restraint.”
Along with Britain, the G7 comprises the United States, Canada, Italy, France, Germany and Japan.
Help us report truthfully on social media
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.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
