Analysts say the escalating conflict between Israel and the Hamas militant group, as well as the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, will likely dominate the agenda of this year's G7 Foreign Ministers' Conference.

The conference is expected to discuss issues such as the Hamas-Israel conflict, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, developments in the Indo- Pacific region, North Korea's missile and nuclear issues, Japan's discharge of treated radioactive wastewater into the sea from the decommissioned Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, etc.

This G7 Foreign Ministers' Conference was attended by the Foreign Ministers of the United States, Germany, Britain, France, Canada, Italy and European Union officials.
