Brazil withdraws ambassador from Israel in protest of massacre in Gaza
The Brazilian government issued an official gazette on Wednesday. However, there was no immediate response from Israel.
Lula is a big critic of Israeli genocide in Gaza. Earlier this year, he compared the Israeli attack to the Holocaust. After his comments, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz summoned the Brazilian ambassador to the National Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem to publicly reprimand him. In addition, Lula was declared uninvited in Israel.( )
An official of Brazil's foreign ministry said the action was taken because of insulting their country's ambassador. He said this on condition of anonymity even though he is aware of this. Because he is not allowed to speak to the media.( )
On October 7, Hamas entered southern Israel and carried out an unprecedented attack, killing 1,200 Israelis and arresting nearly 250 Israelis and foreigners. Since that day, Israel has been indiscriminately bombing Gaza after declaring war on Hamas. Already, more than 36 thousand Palestinians have been killed by Israel's attack in this small valley. Most of the dead are women and children.( )
