The Brazilian president referred to the conflict between Hamas and Israel. He also complained about Brazilians who have not yet been allowed to return to their country.
The president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silvaassured today that the conflict between Hamas and Israel “it is not a war”, but a “genocide, that already ended the life of more than 2,000 children”. He said it during his speech at the Planalto Palacethis Wednesday afternoon.
The president of the largest Latin American economy had already repudiated yesterday Israel’s offensive of bombings and attacks against the Gaza Stripand stated that “Israel does not have to kill millions of innocents because Hamas committed a terrorist act.”
“The problem is that it’s not a war, is a genocide that has killed almost 2,000 children who have nothing to do with this war, they are victims of this war. “I don’t know how a human being is capable of fighting a war knowing that the result of this war is the death of innocents,” he stated.

During his presentation, Lula described what is happening right now in the Middle East as “very serious.” “It’s not about arguing who is right.nor who is wrong, who fired the first shot or whose shot the second”.

Lula also said that he planned to talk with the emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad al Thanito negotiate the departure of the Brazilians found in the Gaza Strip unable to leave the Palestinian territory towards Egypt.
“Until now they have not been allowed to return” complained Lula, whose government repatriated about 1,400 Brazilians who reside or were on vacation in Israel since the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas launched a series of attacks against Israel on October 7.
