The Foreign Ministers of the large democratic countries of the Group of Seven (G7) are meeting today on the Italian island of Capri for three-day talks.
The meeting has been overshadowed by expectations of Israeli retaliation against Iran for its missile and drone attacks over the weekend.
Italy, which holds the next presidency of the G7, has called for a cease-fire in Gaza and a de-escalation in the Middle East.
" In the background of strong international tensions, the G7 led by Italy has the duty to work for peace ," Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said in a statement.
In turn, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday that Israel will decide for itself how to respond to Iran's weekend attacks.
Netanyahu spoke after meeting the UK and German foreign ministers today and speaking with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Tuesday.
" I thank our friends for their support for the defense of Israel... They also have all kinds of suggestions and advice, I appreciate it, but I want to make it clear: we will make our decisions and the State of Israel will do everything necessary to defend ourselves ," Netanyahu said.
