Upping pressure on Israel, G7 foreign ministers say ‘now is the time’ for Lebanon ceasefire
FIUGGI, Italy — Foreign ministers from the G7 democracies up the pressure on Israel to accept a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah in Lebanon, saying “now is the time to conclude a diplomatic settlement.”
In a draft statement at the end of a two-day meeting in Italy, the G7 ministers urge Israel to facilitate humanitarian aid delivery to Palestinians, and condemned increasing settler violence in the West Bank.
The ministers also condemn recent attacks on the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and express their support for the UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA, saying it plays a “vital role.”
