World leaders are gathering in Calgary in Canada for the G7 summit, where the escalating Israel-Iran conflict is set to dominate discussions.

World leaders have begun arriving in the Canadian city of Calgary as the Group of Seven prepares to meet in the Canadian Rockies, with the Israel-Iran conflict expected to top the agenda.

Israel’s decision to attack Iran is likely to shift the summit’s focus, drawing attention away from other priorities as leaders discuss how to manage the escalating tensions.

French President Emmanuel Macron, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen have already arrived for the three-day meeting.

The Group of Seven—Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States—will officially begin talks on Sunday. Host nation Canada is aiming to avoid any public confrontations with U.S. President Donald Trump.

Leaders from Ukraine, Mexico, India, Australia, South Africa, South Korea, and Brazil are also expected to join parts of the summit, which runs through Tuesday.
