G20: Israel says summary statement "unbalanced and biased", urges to "include recognition of nation's right to defend itself"

Israel has criticized a draft G20 summit statement on the Israel-Gaza conflict as biased, demanding recognition of its right to self-defense and condemnation of Hamas and Hezbollah. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar urged the inclusion of these elements, warning that their absence would jeopardize regional peace. Meanwhile, Israel continued its offensive against Hezbollah in Beirut, targeting infrastructure and munitions depots.
