Group of Seven leaders will call on Hamas to accept the cease-fire deal outlined by US President Joe Biden, according to a draft statement seen by Bloomberg.

In the communique they issue at the end of their annual meeting, taking place this week, the allies will also urge Israel to de-escalate from a “full-scale military offensive” in Rafah — and may include language that urges those steps to be in line with provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice.
