G7 leaders denounced Iran’s strike on Israel and reiterated the group’s commitment to Israel’s security during a meeting on Sunday.
In a statement following a video meeting, the leaders of the Group of Seven nations announced that
“unequivocally condemn in the strongest terms Iran’s direct and unprecedented attack against Israel”.
“We express our full solidarity and support to Israel and its people and reaffirm our commitment towards its security,” they said, in the statement published by the Italian G7 presidency.
“With its actions, Iran has further stepped toward the destabilisation of the region and risks provoking an uncontrollable regional escalation. This must be avoided.
“We will continue to work to stabilise the situation and avoid further escalation.
“In this spirit, we demand that Iran and its proxies cease their attacks, and we stand ready to take further measures now and in response to further destabilising initiatives.”
