After the Iranian drone and missile attack, the international community reacted strongly. The G7 leaders, meeting on Sunday April 14, unanimously condemned Iran’s unprecedented offensive against Israel. Before the videoconference, the United Kingdom, which helped neutralize the rockets, was already calling for appeasement. “We defend the security of Israel and the entire region. What we need now is for calm to prevail”said British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
The Arab world reacted cautiously
France also called for de-escalation. On X, Emmanuel Macron strongly condemned the attack launched on Israel. Traveling to China, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz described the offensive as unjustifiable and intolerable. “Iran must not continue down this path”, he warned. According to United States President Joe Biden, American forces helped shoot down almost all of the Iranian projectiles. Finally, the Arab world reacted rather cautiously. In a press release, Turkey calls in particular on Western countries, which exercise influence over Israel, to ease tensions.
