The Intelligence from The Economist · View from the summit: what did the G7 achieve? · 17 Jun 2026 podcast

The ceasefire will be extended for another 60 days while the negotiations for the final agreement take place.

But all the details remain to be seen, and there's a fair amount of skepticism about what actually this

still contains, given that nobody has seen it, certainly not the other leaders at the G seven.

One of the things that was quite interesting, I thought, was Trump's comments about Israel and about Netanyahu.

He was surprisingly critical, saying he was not happy with the way that Israel's handled itself with regard to Lebanon and Hezbollah.

So this is, you know, harsher language than we've learnt to expect from Trump towards uh Netanyahu in particular.

There was also harsher language from the other European leaders for that matter.

matter who I think have been uh equally frustrated, those who are tended to be more supportive of Israel.

So Lebanon is something that Trump has been very focused on.

It's uh dominated quite a lot of discussions during the G seven.

He even suggested at one point that Syria might do a better job dealing with Hezbollah than Israel has, which was quite a statement.

Well in the communique that the G seven leaders issued, they do all commit to unwavering support for Ukraine.

Now that again is interesting.

He turned up and President Emmanuel Macron, who is hosting the summit, was very careful to make sure that Trump and Zelensky could have a bilateral together.

That was a very important thing to have arranged, I think.

There was also discussion with all the G seven leaders.

There were discussions with Macron present as well as Trump and Zelensky.

There was this sort of informal choreography of getting Trump

To make sure that he heard the other leaders in a very direct way, but also that he spoke to Zelensky.
