RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil President Lula has withdrawn his country's ambassador to Israel after frequently criticizing the war in Gaza.
This decision comes amidst escalating tensions in the region as the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to intensify. President Lula's move to recall the Brazilian ambassador is seen as a strong diplomatic statement against the ongoing violence in Gaza.
Brazil has been vocal in its condemnation of the military actions in Gaza, with President Lula expressing deep concern over the loss of civilian lives and the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region. The decision to withdraw the ambassador underscores Brazil's stance on the need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
Israel has not yet responded to Brazil's decision to recall its ambassador, but the move is likely to further strain relations between the two countries. The conflict in Gaza has drawn international attention and condemnation, with calls for an immediate ceasefire and efforts to de-escalate the violence.
President Lula's decision to withdraw the Brazilian ambassador to Israel sends a clear message of solidarity with the Palestinian people and a call for an end to the bloodshed in Gaza. The international community continues to monitor the situation closely, hoping for a swift resolution to the conflict and an end to the suffering of civilians caught in the crossfire.
