President Biden To Lead G7 Summit In Response To Iran’s Attack On Israel

In a significant international move, President Joe Biden announced a G7 summit to be held today to discuss a coordinated diplomatic strategy following Iran’s recent attack on Israel. This summit includes leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, all coming together to address the situation.

The urgency of the meeting underscores the gravity of the events that unfolded after Iran launched an attack on Israel, reportedly in retaliation for an earlier strike in Damascus that resulted in the death of an Iranian military commander. This series of events has escalated tensions in the Middle East, prompting a swift international response.

In a detailed statement, President Biden expressed unwavering support for Israel, reaffirming the United States’ “ironclad commitment” to the security of the nation. He recalled his recent conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, praising Israel’s robust defense capabilities which effectively countered the attacks.

President Biden emphasized, “I’ve just spoken with Prime Minister Netanyahu to reaffirm America’s ironclad commitment to the security of Israel. I told him that Israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity to defend against and defeat even unprecedented attacks—sending a clear message to its foes that they cannot effectively threaten the security of Israel.”

Further detailing the U.S. involvement, Biden highlighted the proactive steps taken by the U.S. military, which included the deployment of aircraft and ballistic missile defense destroyers to the region. “Thanks to these deployments and the extraordinary skill of our service members, we helped Israel take down nearly all of the incoming drones and missiles,” Biden stated.

The U.S. President condemned Iran’s aggressive actions and assured continuous vigilance and readiness to protect U.S. interests and personnel in the region. “While we have not seen attacks on our forces or facilities today, we will remain vigilant to all threats and will not hesitate to take all necessary action to protect our people,” he added.

As the G7 leaders convene, the world watches closely, anticipating the outcomes of this high-stakes diplomatic effort aimed at maintaining stability and security in a region long plagued by geopolitical strife.
