G7 leaders “completely support” Joe Biden’s peace plan for Gaza

According to a statement released on Monday, the leaders of the main countries that make up the Group of Seven (G7) “fully endorse and will stand behind the comprehensive” ceasefire and hostage release arrangement for the Gaza war that was presented by US President Joe Biden. They also urge on Hamas to adopt it.

The agreement “would lead to an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all hostages, a significant and sustained increase in humanitarian assistance for distribution throughout Gaza, and an enduring end to the crisis, with Israel’s security interests and Gazan civilian safety assured,” said the statement.

Italy is the G7’s alternating president till 2024. The group reiterated its support “for a credible pathway towards peace leading to a two state solution.”

When Biden presented what he described as a three-phase Israeli ceasefire proposal last week, Hamas responded favourably at first.

Although he characterised it as faulty and in need of much more work, an assistant to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged on Sunday that Israel had accepted the framework agreement for ending the Gaza war.

“We call on Hamas to accept this deal, that Israel is ready to move forward with, and we urge countries with influence over Hamas to help ensure that it does so,” the statement from the G7 stated.
