Brazil's President Lula da Silva returned the ambassador to Israel, Federico Meir, to Brasilia. Israel's ambassador to Brazil, Daniel Zohar-Zonshein, was summoned to a reprimand conversation in Brasilia, which will take place tonight.
Foreign Minister Israel Katz attacked Lula's words last night in which he severely criticized the IDF's actions in the Gaza Strip. Katz declared Lula as an "unwanted personality in Israel" until he retracts his words. "This is a serious anti-Semitic attack," he said.
