G7 says 'no country stands to gain' from Middle East escalation

G7 nations have warned that "no country stands to gain from a further escalation in the Middle East," as world leaders gathered in New York for the annual U.N. General Assembly.

"Actions and counter-reactions risk magnifying this dangerous spiral of violence and dragging the entire Middle East into a broader regional conflict with unimaginable consequences," a statement from the G7 foreign ministers said, calling for "a stop to the current destructive cycle."
