Biden convened the G7 leaders to coordinate a unified diplomatic response after Iran and its proxies launched an unprecedented air attack on targets in Israel.

 Today, US President Joe Biden is convening the leaders of the Group of Seven countries in response to Iran's attacks on Israel to coordinate a unified diplomatic response to Iran's attack. This is stated in the statement of the US President, which was released by the White House, reports UNN

Earlier today, Iran and its proxies operating from Yemen, Syria and Iraq launched an unprecedented air attack on military targets in Israel. I condemn these attacks in the strongest possible terms

- Biden said in a statement.

He pointed out that on his instructions, in order to support Israel's defense, the US military deployed missile defense aircraft and destroyers to the region last week. As a result, the United States helped Israel shoot down almost all drones and missiles.

Biden also said that he had spoken with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and expressed to him  America's unwavering commitment to Israel's security. According to the US leader, Israel has demonstrated an impressive ability to defend itself and defeat even unprecedented attacks, sending a clear message to its enemies that they cannot effectively threaten Israel's security.

Tomorrow (April 14 - ed.), I will convene my fellow Group of Seven leaders to coordinate a unified diplomatic response to Iran's brazen attack. My team will engage with their counterparts across the region. And we will stay in close touch with Israel's leaders. And while we have not seen any attacks on our forces or facilities today, we will remain vigilant to all threats and will not hesitate to take all necessary measures to protect our people

- Biden summarized. 

Today, April 14,  the UN Security Council will meet for a meeting initiated by Israel. Jerusalem will call on the UN Security Council  to condemn Iran's attack on Israel and to declare the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organization.
