Brazil Condemns Deadly Strikes in Gaza, Calls for End to “Endless Massacre”

The Brazilian government has strongly condemned the recent Israeli bombings in southern Gaza that killed at least 92 people and wounded over 300 more. In a statement, the presidency denounced the “unacceptable” attacks that claimed the lives of “hundreds of innocent people”.

Kabul 24: Brazil urged the international community not to “remain silent in the face of this endless massacre” and accused Israel of “collectively punishing the Palestinian people”. The statement noted that tens of thousands have died in successive attacks since last year, many in designated humanitarian zones that should be protected.

Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has taken an increasingly critical stance towards Israel’s actions in Gaza, withdrawing the country’s ambassador in May over the conflict and accusing the government of genocide. This has led to a diplomatic row, with Israel declaring Lula persona non grata in response.
