Brazil Condemns Israel’s Expansion of Illegal Settlements in the West Bank.
The Brazilian government expressed regret over Israel’s decision to expand illegal settlements in the West Bank, calling it a violation of international law and a threat to the two-state solution. The move was seen as jeopardizing peace efforts in the region and hindering progress in Gaza.
Brazil affirmed its support for Palestine’s full recognition and integration into the international community, emphasizing the need for a two-state solution with borders based on the 1967 lines. The implementation of a free trade agreement with the Palestinian Authority highlighted Brazil’s solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Palestinian Ambassador to Brasilia, Ibrahim Al-Zaben, praised Brazil’s stance as courageous and timely. Brazilian President Lula da Silva has consistently condemned Israeli actions in Gaza, accusing Tel Aviv of committing atrocities against Palestinians.
As tensions continue in the region, Brazil remains a vocal advocate for Palestinian rights and a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
