A diplomatic solution to the Middle
East crisis is still possible, the Group of Seven said after a
phone conference led by Premier and duty G7 chair Giorgia Meloni
at Palazzo Chigi in Rome Wednesday, Chigi said.
"In a constantly evolving scenario, it was agreed to work
together to promote a reduction in tensions at a regional level,
starting with the application of Resolution 2735 in Gaza and
Resolution 1701 for the stabilization of the Israeli-Lebanese
border", said the note from Palazzo Chigi after the emergency
meeting of the G7 on the Middle East.
"In expressing strong concern for the escalation of these last
hours - the statement continues - it was reiterated that a
conflict on a regional scale is in no one's interest and that a
diplomatic solution is still possible".
The leaders "agreed to remain in close contact".
