Presidential plane tries to reach Gaza

The Brazilian Air Force (FAB) plane that took off this Thursday afternoon (12) will stop in Rome, Italy, where it will await authorization to go to Egypt to rescue a group of Brazilians trapped in the Gaza Strip. This is the first Brazilian aircraft – provided by the Presidency of the Republic – that left for Cairo and not Tel Aviv, in Israel, since the beginning of the conflict with Hamas.
