LEADERS of the world’s 20 major economies have called for a global pact to combat hunger, more aid for war-torn Gaza and an end to hostilities in the Middle East and Ukraine.

Monday’s joint declaration, which was short on details as to how those goals are to be accomplished, received endorsement from group members but fell short of unanimity. 

It also called for a future global tax on billionaires and for reforms to expand the membership of the United Nations security council.
