President Trump left summit early
G7 leaders released a joint statement late Monday calling for a "de-escalation" of hostilities in the Middle East as the conflict between Israel and Iran heats up.
U.S. President Donald Trump left the Alberta summit early to deal with the war.
The statement affirms Israel's right to defend itself and recognizes Iran as "the principal source of regional instability and terror" but also calls for some sort of "resolution."
Israel is ramping up its attacks as part of a push to destroy Iran's nuclear program and wipe out the senior officials who lead it.
