US President Joe Biden will participate in a call with G7 leaders today to discuss the situation in the Middle East, a source familiar with the call said.
The call comes as the US and allies are awaiting word on how Israel plans to respond to Iran’s missile attack on Tuesday. US officials have said Iran will face “severe consequences” for the attack, and officials across the Biden administration have remained in regular contact with Israeli counterparts as they determine their next steps
Top officials from several G7 countries, including, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, have all condemned Iran’s attack on Israel, warning of potentially disastrous consequences for the wider region.
