We, the G7 leaders, reaffirm our commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East.

We assert that Israel has the right to defend itself and emphasize our support for its security.

We also stress the importance of protecting civilians.

Iran is the main source of regional instability and terrorism.

We have consistently stated that Iran must never possess a nuclear weapon.

We call for resolving the Iranian crisis to lead to broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.

We will remain attentive to the effects on international energy markets and are prepared to coordinate with like-minded partners to ensure market stability.
