Brazil withdraws ambassador from Israel in protest of massacre in Gaza

 

Brazil withdraws ambassador from Israel in protest of massacre in Gaza



Brazilian President Lula da Silva has withdrawn the ambassador from Israel over allegations of genocide in Gaza. The country has been strongly criticizing the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip for a long time. There has been tension between the two countries for several months. Brazil decided to withdraw the ambassador amid such tension.( )

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.( )

WOLVES Timberwolves fall apart in Game 5 as season ends with 124-103 loss to Dallas


Timberwolves fall apart in Game 5 as season ends with 124-103 loss to Dallas


The Timberwolves season is over after a disappointing loss to the Mavericks. Staff writer Chris Hine provided this live report:( )

10:00 p.m.: Wolves season ends with xx-xx loss to Mavericks in Game 5

Even when the Timberwolves were down 3-0 to the Mavericks, Anthony Edwards was in the team's locker room in Dallas saying he still felt like the Wolves were the better team.

What happened Thursday night ended any idea of that being true, as the Mavericks made quick and lethal work of the Wolves and ended their season with a 124-103 win to clinch the Western Conference finals 4-1.( )

The Wolves experienced all kinds of heartbreak in this series; Dallas star Luka Doncic quickly ripped it apart in Game 2 with a game-winning three-pointer. On Thursday, Doncic and company stomped it into oblivion from the opening minutes when he began the game with 20 first-quarter points.

A playoff ride that featured plenty of highs — sweeping Phoenix and a Game 7 comeback against the defending champion Nuggets — deserved a better ending than what the Wolves gave in Game 5. But any time an exciting ride ends, there's inevitable letdown after the adrenaline rush drips out.( )

The Wolves made their bed to make Game 5 possible earlier in the series, when they couldn't win one of the first two games at home. Their biggest regret of the postseason will be how they performed in front of their home crowd. They were just 3-5 at Target Center in the postseason. They shot just 43% while Dallas shot 55%.( )

The Mavericks did to the Wolves what the Wolves did to the Nuggets in Game 6 in the only Wolves home win of the final two rounds — completely took the life out of them.

UN Security Council to meet for emergency session after Rafah strike

 

UN Security Council to meet for emergency session after Rafah strike



Spain, Norway, Ireland to formally recognize Palestinian state, saying it is ‘justice for Palestinian people’ and only way for peace in the region. ( )

The UN Security Council was set to convene an emergency meeting Tuesday over an Israeli strike targeting Hamas operatives that also reportedly killed dozens in a displaced persons camp in Rafah, with three European countries slated to formally recognize a Palestinian state.( )

AFP journalists on the ground early Tuesday reported fresh Israeli strikes overnight in the southern Gaza border city, where an Israeli attack targeting two senior Hamas members on Sunday night sparked a fire that ripped through a nearby displacement center, killing 45 people, according to Hamas-run Gaza health officials.( )

The attack prompted a wave of international condemnation, with Palestinians and many Arab countries calling it a “massacre.” Israel said it was looking into the “tragic mishap.”

There is no safe place in Gaza. This horror must stop,” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres posted on social media.( )

UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths pointed to the widespread warnings of civilian deaths that circulated ahead of Israel’s incursion into Rafah, saying in a statement: “We’ve seen the consequences in last night’s utterly unacceptable attack.”

To call it ‘a mistake’ is a message that means nothing for those killed, those grieving, and those trying to save lives,” he added.
