Headline: UNCAPTIONED: G7 Calls for Ceasefire as Trump Rushes Home Amid Rising Middle East Tensions
Caption: G7 Calls for Ceasefire as Trump Rushes Home Amid Rising Middle East Tensions. At the G7 summit in Canada, world leaders issued a joint call for a ceasefire in Gaza and urged a broader de-escalation in the Middle East, while affirming Israel's right to defend itself. But just hours later, President Trump abruptly left the summit, citing the deteriorating situation between Israel and Iran, now entering its fifth day of direct attacks. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed additional military assets were being deployed to the region, though officials denied America was preparing to join the Israeli offensive. Trump's sudden exit means he will miss Tuesday meetings with Ukraine's President Zelensky and Mexico's President Sheinbaum. Before leaving, Trump posted on social media, warning that "Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon” and even urged residents of Tehran to evacuate, without elaborating. The White House highlighted Trump's "successful day" at the summit, pointing to the newly signed US-UK trade deal—though his early departure underscored the escalating urgency of the Middle East conflict.
