In a video conference held by the Group of Seven (G7) leaders, the president of the European Council, Charles Michel, delivered a strong message condemning the recent drone and missile attack. The G7 leaders unanimously expressed their disapproval of the aggressive actions, emphasising the need for restraint and de-escalation.

Unanimous Condemnation

During the virtual meeting, Charles Michel stated, “We unanimously condemn the drone and missile attack.” The attack, which has raised tensions in the region, prompted swift reactions from the international community. The G7 leaders, representing some of the world’s most powerful economies, stood united in denouncing the violence.

Calls for Restraint.

Acknowledging the severity of the situation, Michel emphasised that “all parties must exercise restraint.” He urged both sides to step back from further escalation and seek peaceful solutions. The crisis in Gaza has already caused immense suffering, and an immediate ceasefire is crucial to prevent further loss of life and destruction.

Working Towards De-escalation

Charles Michel assured that efforts to de-escalate the conflict would continue. The G7 leaders are committed to finding a resolution that brings stability to the region. The urgency of ending the crisis in Gaza cannot be overstated, and Michel’s call for an immediate ceasefire underscores the gravity of the situation.

Broader Regional Concerns

In addition to discussing the Gaza crisis, the G7 leaders also addressed the wider region, including Lebanon. The European Council will convene next week to deliberate on the situation and explore ways to promote peace and stability. As tensions persist, international cooperation remains essential in preventing further escalation.
