Meanwhile, the G7 countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States) continue to use the word “diplomatic.”

These countries still think a diplomatic solution “is still possible.”

Italy, which chairs the G7, says the group “reiterated that a conflict on a regional scale is in no one’s interest and that a diplomatic solution is still possible.”

My goodness, you cannot negotiate with terrorists. You cannot negotiate with people who only want to exterminate you.
