The Group of Seven wealthy democracies is working towards a cohesive stance in response to the recent arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This announcement was made by Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani during the opening session of a G7 foreign ministers' meeting.

Tajani stressed the importance of a unified position among member nations. However, the United States, a key G7 member, has already dismissed the ICC's ruling, potentially complicating a consensus.
