We, the leaders of the G7, fully support the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. This agreement is crucial for the release of all hostages and the facilitation of humanitarian aid. We thank Egypt, Qatar, and the United States for their mediation efforts and urge all parties to adhere to the terms. We also call for constructive negotiations for subsequent phases of the deal to ensure an end to hostilities.
We condemn Hamas and their coordinated attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. We mourn the many victims and the suffering of Palestinians and Israelis.
We urge Iran and its allies to refrain from further attacks on Israel. We reaffirm our support for Israels security.
With the ceasefire approaching, it is crucial to seize this opportunity to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
We demand safe and swift access for humanitarian aid and the protection of civilians, including aid workers. International humanitarian laws must be respected. We continue to provide humanitarian aid and support early recovery and reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
We remain committed to a two-state solution where Israelis and Palestinians live in peace and security.
