War

Measure announced after Hamas attacks Israel

The Brazilian government announced this Saturday (7) that it will convene an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council, to make decisions on the attacks carried out on Israel from the Gaza Strip. Brazil is the president of the council.

In a statement, the Brazilian government condemned the series of bombings and ground attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip. “There is no justification for resorting to violence, especially against civilians. The Brazilian government urges all parties to exercise maximum restraint in order to avoid escalating the situation.”

According to the note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Brazil further reinforced its commitment to the two-state solution, with Palestine and Israel living together in peace and security, within mutually agreed and internationally recognized borders.

The attacks killed at least 20 Israeli citizens, in addition to leaving more than 500 injured. “Brazil expresses its condolences to the families of the victims and expresses its solidarity with the people of Israel.” To date, there is no news of victims among the Brazilian community in Israel and Palestine.

“We reaffirm that the mere management of the conflict does not constitute a viable alternative for resolving the Israel-Palestine issue, and the resumption of peace negotiations is urgent. We regret that in 2023, the year of the 30th anniversary of the Oslo Peace Accords, there will be a serious and growing deterioration in the security situation between Israel and Palestine,”

says the note.
