The Brazilian President stresses the genocide taking place in Gaza and speaks to the emir of Qatar to secure the release of 30 Brazilian nationals.
On Wednesday, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva declared that genocide was taking place in Gaza.
“It’s not a war, it’s a genocide that has killed nearly 2 thousand children who have nothing to do with this war, they are victims of this war. And frankly, I don’t know how a human being is capable of war knowing that the result of that war is the death of innocent children,” the Brazilian President declared.
Da Silva attended the installation of the Federation Council at the Planalto presidential palace and spoke briefly ahead of a phone call with Qatar’s Emir Tamin bin al Thani to discuss the ongoing situation in the Middle East.
“I have a phone call [scheduled] with the emir of Qatar to try to find someone who can talk to someone to see if they can release first the Brazilians who are stranded in the Gaza Strip, a few kilometers from the border with Egypt, who want to return to Brazil,” he reported.
