The decision to impeach Pritts was announced on Monday following the attack by Bolsonaro supporters on government institutions in the capital Brasilia.
On the same day, the Brazilian foreign minister also dismissed the ambassador in Washington and the consulate general in New York - both loyal to Bolsonaro.
The big picture

He even changed Brazil's voting pattern in the UN institutions on the Israeli-Palestinian issue. Bolsonaro even visited Israel twice.
Bolsonaro maintained a very close relationship with Prime Minister Netanyahu, who even flew to Brazil to attend his inauguration.

Shelley built a very close relationship with Bolsonaro, was a visitor to his home and even publicly defended his policies.
Netanyahu appointed Shelly about two weeks ago as CEO of the Prime Minister's Office.
During the Brazilian presidential election campaign, Netanyahu, who was on an election campaign himself, recorded a video in which he expressed support for Bolsonaro.
The former president circulated the video on his social media accounts in an attempt to garner political support.
