On 17 February, the G7 Foreign Ministers met informally at the Munich Security Conference. As Chair of the meeting, Italy's Minister for Foreign Affairs Antonio Tajani released a statement.

They also addressed regional conflicts in the Middle East and the Red Sea, condemning terrorist attacks and reporting concerns about Iran's nuclear program.^[7]

On 24 February, on the second anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the first G7 Leaders videoconference was held. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Chair of the meeting, attended from Kyiv along with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine. A leaders' statement was released after the conference.^[8]

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who has long criticized Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip, tried to draw attention to the ongoing Israel–Hamas war.^[9]
