Rome, Italy — G7 foreign ministers met by videoconference Sunday to discuss the Middle East and expressed “strong concern” over the threat of escalation, Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said.

“Together with our partners, we have expressed strong concern about recent events that threaten to determine a regionalization of the crisis, starting from Lebanon,” said Tajani in a statement.

The foreign ministers, it said, “reiterated the priority of a favorable conclusion of the negotiations on the ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages” while stepping up humanitarian assistance.
