Tokyo protesters demand Gaza ceasefire amid G7

STORY: Russia's war in Ukraine and the Israel-Gaza crisis are on the agenda.

Since the Israel-Gaza crisis began, the G7 has issued just one joint statement on the conflict, amounting to a few sentences.

Other group members have issued separate statements.

G7 chair Japan has taken a cautious approach to the crisis, resisting pressure to fall in line with the pro-Israel stance of its closest ally, the United States.
