G7 support for Ukraine will not dim due to Middle East conflict, Japan says

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : At a meeting with Kamikawa later on Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasised the group's "enduring support" for Ukraine as a key item on the agenda for the talks, but also said it was an important moment to come together on the Israel-Hamas war.
48% : A joint statement following those talks also condemned what it described as destabilising activities in the region by Iran and called on the oil-rich nation to play a more constructive role to de-escalate tensions. G7 chair Japan has taken a cautious approach to the crisis, resisting pressure to fall in line with the pro-Israel stance of its closest ally, the United States, officials and analysts say.
46% : G7 divisions have also been evident at the United Nations, with France voting in favour of a resolution calling for a humanitarian truce in the conflict on Oct 26, the U.S. opposing it and the group's other members abstaining.
