Tensions between Brazil and Israel have escalated following controversial remarks made by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, comparing Israel's military actions in Gaza to the Holocaust. The comments have drawn international criticism, including from Israel, which has labeled Lula a Holocaust denier and declared him persona non grata. In response, Lula has refused to retract his statements, leading to a diplomatic rift, with Brazil recalling its ambassador to Israel. The situation has garnered reactions from various global leaders, with Colombia, Bolivia, Cuba, and Venezuela expressing solidarity with Brazil. Amidst this backdrop, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Brazil, where he told Lula that the US ‘disagrees’ with his Gaza genocide remarks. The G20 foreign ministers meeting in Brazil has been overshadowed by the geopolitical divide over the Israel-Hamas conflict and Russia's actions in Ukraine, potentially forcing the forum to avoid these contentious issues.
In light of Lula's particularly close relations with Israel over the years, it's difficult to understand his comments. One theory is that Lula was influenced by criticism of Israel in his Workers' Party, criticism that often flirts with antisemitism https://t.co/EJnCs7zK3N
