Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva strongly condemned the Israeli military’s actions in the Gaza Strip, labeling it as “genocide” during an event in Rio de Janeiro. He emphasized the disproportionate impact on civilians, particularly children, and called for the establishment of a “free and sovereign” Palestinian state. Lula criticized the effectiveness of the UN Security Council, stating it fails to take meaningful action for peace and highlighting the hypocrisy and lack of democracy among countries with veto power. He drew attention to the significant loss of life, predominantly among women and children, in Gaza since October 2023, urging global awareness and action against the ongoing crisis.
