Leaders of the G7 countries on Friday issued a statement in which they declared their support for the ceasefire and hostage release deal which was recently outlined by US President Joe Biden.
The lengthy statement also reiterated the countries’ support for a “two-state solution” and also called on all sides to refrain from unilateral steps that undermine that solution, “including Israeli expansion of settlements”.
The G7 also criticized Iran for its April drone and missile attack on Israel and reaffirmed their commitment to Israel’s security.
Finally, the statement also expressed concern over the recent escalation between Israel and Hezbollah.
“We reiterate our strongest condemnation of the brutal terrorist attacks conducted by Hamas and other terrorist groups against Israel on 7 October 2023. We express our full solidarity and support to Israel and its people and reaffirm our unwavering commitment towards its security. In exercising its right to defend itself, Israel must fully comply with its obligations under international law in all circumstances, including international humanitarian law. We condemn Hamas for its continuing use of civilian infrastructure for its military activities and failure to separate and distinguish itself from civilians in Gaza. We deplore all losses of civilian lives equally, and note with great concern the unacceptable number of civilian casualties especially women and children. We call on all parties to take every feasible step to protect civilian lives,” the countries said.

You may be right or at least partly right. I read this statement as "as long as we are nice to the crocodile it will not eat us". Maybe it is a bit of both.
Totally immoral in any case!
Those on the other hand are pure 100% anti-Semites Jew-haters.
Hilarious and absolutely meaningless.
Since the Hamas pogrom, Israel has repeatedly agreed to a bad deal because its leaders have not learned from the past and because the public things a few hostages are worth more than long term safety of wiping out Hamas.
EVERY TIME the deal has been rejected by Hamas. No counter offer just rejection.
The only way to bring Hamas to the table is to execute Sinwar and probably the team in Qatar. Then maybe new leaders will see the light (as was the case in Nazi Germany and Japan). Or maybe not.
No thanks. Get stuffed.
Ah yes, the good life of Europeans and Americans who hold power in their respective countries. Sitting back, drinking fine Champagne, smoking a cigar and watching from a comfortable couch as the TV shows so many “innocent victims” from the Israeli “onslaught”.
The uniting force between these leaders and many of the useful idiots on college campuses is the concept of Appeasement.
Nothing has changed for these folks since around 1940 when Winston Churchill said, “An appeaser is one who feeds the crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.
The truth is out there for all to see but so many leaders and so many blind followers refuse to see it and fight against it. Ah, but they surely will when the HAMAS/PLO Intifada agenda begins burning down their civilization, kills and rapes THIER WOMEN which they actually have already begun, albeit slowly.
They ought to just bugger themselves silly..
Maybe they already have. One can hope.
And they’re dominating elite universities. WTF!
They did make one counter offer by unilaterally changing the terms of one cease fire proposal in such a way that they “accepted it,” but Israel rightly rejected it. Instead of the first batch of hostages released being living ones, they changed it to some living ones, some dead, and instead of being released immediately, released by and by, and they wanted an immediate, permanent cease fire and immediate release of all Hamas prisoners, and a bajillion tons of humanitarian aid and a pony for Sinwar’s birthday.
Israel told them to go to hell.
Probably a strongly worded letter?
Where is going, he will need a flame retardant suit, not a pony.
Butt out assholes.
Workin’ for the Arab oil dollar.
A collective of DAVOS freaks who think they run the world. They do not.
YHWH does and so........we will see how this plays out.
I’m all for a two state solution. Which country in the G7 is willing to provide the land and infrastructure for a new Palestinian state?
Still waiting...
That’s reserved for real misdeeds. Lobbing missiles and drones at Israel, it would read more like this:
“Can’t you hit anything?! All that equipment, and you only make a crater or two in an airfield! You are disappointing. I thought you were serious about this Jihad thing. Well, we’ll tell Israel not to retaliate, but you know how Bibi gets. No promises.”
That sounds about right.
Biden’s...
They are STILL covering for, conniving with our Deep State.
We have no allies in the G7. Or in NATO.
Not one.
Trump can pull us out of both with my blessing.
The G-7 leaders who were present are on their way out. Sanity may yet return to Europe, and perhaps before it returns to the USA.
on board the sinking ship
