The G7 foreign ministers convened in Fiuggi, Italy, under the leadership of Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, to address the International Criminal Court's (ICC) recent issuance of an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
This warrant, which also implicates former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif, is tied to alleged war crimes committed during the conflict in Gaza. The decision has been met with criticism from Israel's allies, creating a divide over how to enforce the warrants.
The meeting aims to reach a consensus among the G7 nations regarding the ICC's actions. Tajani expressed confidence that reaching an agreement would not be challenging, stating, "It’s not an immediate and actual problem. I don’t think Netanyahu will come to Italy or anywhere else," as quoted by the Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera.
In addition to discussing the arrest warrant, the G7 ministers are also focusing on other major global issues. These include the ongoing Middle East crisis, the war in Ukraine, and the implications of Donald Trump's re-election as U.S. president for international relations. Furthermore, the ministers are addressing China's territorial claims over Taiwan, highlighting the threat to its self-governing democracy..
