G7 foreign ministers urge increased aid into Gaza, pledge to 'maintain attention' on occupied West Bank G7 foreign ministers urge increased aid into Gaza, pledge to 'maintain attention' on occupied West Bank In a joint statement released on Wednesday, the foreign ministers of the Group of 7 (G7) nations welcomed what they called "President Trump’s Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict,"Β but "expressed concern about restrictions" of humanitarian aid going into the enclave. "We called on all parties to allow for humanitarian assistance without interference at scale, through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions and INGOs, as stipulated in President Trump’s plan," the statement read.Β  "It is vital that all parties continue to engage constructively on the next steps outlined in the Comprehensive Plan, in pursuit of a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence for the Israeli and Palestinian peoples that advances comprehensive Middle East peace and stability," the G7 foreign ministers said. "We will also continue to maintain attention on the situation in the West Bank." The G7 comprises Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the US, with the inclusion of the High Representative of the European Union. The respective foreign ministers had gathered for their annual meeting in Niagara, Ontario, this week. Brazil, India, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, South Korea, South Africa, and Ukraine joined the discussions this year.

How Somerville Became the First US City to Vote to Divest From Israeli Apartheid "I grew up here in the belly of the beast," one organizer said. "I never imagined that this would be on the ballot."

"Somerville for Palestine decided to take the issue to voters."

"[F]irst time voters in the U.S. have had the opportunity to directly declare their support for [BDS] through a ballot initiative."

"It was a landslide."

President Herzog called for authorities to β€œact decisively to eradicate the phenomenon”.

The top Israeli military official in the West Bank called the violence β€œunacceptable”.

The statements were unusual for Israeli officials, who have largely ignored settler violence against Palestinians.
