Leaders of the G7 call for a ceasefire in Lebanon and express support for an interim agreement aimed at ending the conflict involving Iran, Reuters reports. Meeting at a summit in France on June 17, the G7 leaders welcome the interim deal but frame it as part of a broader effort to reach further arrangements. They also urge what they describe as a “robust” ceasefire in Lebanon.
In addition, the leaders say they plan to diversify energy supply routes to reduce dependence on the Strait of Hormuz, citing the regional impact of the Iran war. The sources describe the G7’s energy diversification goal as a response to potential disruptions linked to tensions in the area.
Separate reporting from Reuters includes comments from a Hezbollah spokesperson, who says the group believes Iran would not support a permanent truce unless Israeli “occupation” ends. The statements underscore that while the G7 presses for a ceasefire, positions among regional actors remain linked to broader political and security demands.
