"Actions and counter-reactions risk magnifying this dangerous spiral of violence and dragging the entire Middle East into a broader regional conflict with unimaginable consequences," the G7 said in a statement after meeting on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.

"They called for a stop to the current destructive cycle, while emphasizing that no country stands to gain from a further escalation in the Middle East."
