G7 leaders released on Friday (14) the final declaration of the summit focusing on ending the wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
Regarding the Israeli attacks on Gaza, the group expressed “deep concern” about the consequences of the ground operations in Rafah and called on Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to desist from the offensive. The text recognized the Israeli right to self-defense after terrorist attacks by Hamas in 2022, but demanded that the country comply with international law standards to ensure humanitarian aid in the region.
Support for Ukraine and Putin’s ceasefire proposal
The declaration reaffirmed support for Ukraine in the war against Russia, formalizing the loan of 50 billion dollars guaranteed by profits from Russian assets frozen by sanctions. President Lula (PT), who participated as a guest, argued that discussions on peace in Ukraine must consider Russia’s participation.
This Friday, President Vladimir Putin presented a ceasefire proposal that required Kiev to abandon its ambitions to join NATO and hand over four provinces claimed by Moscow. The proposal was promptly rejected by the Ukrainian government.
