The Group of Seven (G7) nations have publicly voiced their support for Israel while identifying Iran as a primary source of instability in the Middle East.
In a statement issued late Monday, the G7 called for renewed efforts to restore peace and stability in the region amid escalating tensions.
The declaration comes as the air conflict between Iran and Israel intensifies. The latest escalation began on Friday when Israel launched airstrikes targeting Iranian positions.
The confrontation has heightened concerns in a region already fraught with conflict, particularly following Israel`s military campaign in Gaza that began in October 2023.
The G7`s position underscores the growing international focus on the Israel-Iran hostilities and their potential to destabilize broader Middle Eastern security.
The G7 statement urged all parties to exercise restraint and emphasized the need for diplomatic solutions to prevent further escalation.
However, the explicit support for Israel and the strong criticism of Iran may further complicate the already fragile regional dynamics.
No immediate responses have been issued by Iran following the G7 statement.
