Summary
An immediate ceasefire in Lebanon was the G7’s main new demand in a joint statement issued on the summit’s final day in France.
The 7-nation group tied that call to support for Lebanese leaders seeking Hezbollah’s disarmament and a state monopoly on arms.
The statement also backed protecting Lebanon’s territorial integrity and sovereignty with what it called appropriate international security guarantees.
G7 leaders framed the Lebanon push as part of a broader effort to stabilize the region and help secure a US-Iran deal.
