The G7 and the crisis in the Middle East are the two hot topics on everyone’s lips this week. The G7 turned out to be a bit of a dud after the US president left early, citing the crisis unfolding in the Middle East. He had a nice photo op with Britain’s Keir Starmer, however, and had a few viral moments where he seemingly rambled on about Putin, Iran-Israel and whatever else came to his mind in the moment (Canada’s Carney hilariously interrupting him was a highlight).

The crisis in the Middle East continues to develop despite European calls for a de-escalation. Donald Trump has signalled the US could enter the war within weeks, leading to speculation several European nations could follow suit. There have also been calls for the Iranian president to be assassinated, which Russia responded to by warning the US that there will be consequences if such an event were to happen.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog stated that Israel had “no other choice” but to attack Iran due to its rapid progression towards developing a nuclear bomb, claiming Iran was acting “clandestinely.”

Iran launched a new wave of ballistic missiles targeting Israel’s major cities, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem, Tamra, and Bat Yam—marking the fourth consecutive day of cross-border strikes.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer is spearheading urgent diplomacy ahead of the G7 in Canada amid escalating Israel–Iran tensions.
