Brazil recalls ambassador to Israel. The provision comes in the aftermath of Tel Aviv's decision to declare Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva 'persona nongrata' for having accused the Jewish State of having committed a genocide in Gaza.
The actions of the Israeli armed forces in Palestine - following the attacks in Hamas of 7 October last - were compared to the action of Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust, according to the Brazilian president's remarks. The Foreign Ministry has recalled its ambassador, Fred Meyer, for consultations.
