FIUGGI, Italy (AP) — Foreign ministers from the world’s leading industrialized countries have thrown their support behind an immediate ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. But they largely sidestepped a key question facing them Tuesday after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Israel’s leader over the war in Gaza. The G7 meeting of foreign ministers was the last of the Biden administration. It was dominated by the wars in Gaza and Lebanon, but the final G7 communique also vowed the group’s continued commitment to Ukraine in its war with Russia.
