Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has stirred international controversy by raising the Palestinian flag during the opening of the IV edition of the National Conference on Culture in the Brazilian capital of Brasilia, and by making contentious remarks about Israel and Venezuela. Lula's actions have sparked reactions both domestically and internationally, with some accusing him of supporting aggressors in global conflicts, such as the Israel-Hamas and Russia-Ukraine wars. Additionally, after accusing Israel of genocide, Lula's comparison of Israel to Nazi Germany has led to a decline in his approval ratings, as indicated by a Genial/Quaest poll. The president's stance on Venezuela's upcoming presidential election, urging his global peers not to cast doubt on the fairness of the election, and his advice to the Venezuelan opposition have further fueled debates about his foreign policy approach and its implications for Brazil's international relations.
Approval of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's performance has slipped after his remarks last month likening Israel's war in Gaza to the Nazi genocide during World War Two, according to a new Genial/Quaest poll released on Wednesday. https://t.co/68UX3VFMr4
This is disgraceful. Lula wants to be a world leader... but usually sticks his foot in his mouth when he comments on things beyond Brazil's border. https://t.co/zas5VYDbhL
Brazil's Communist dictator Lula is losing voter support in Brazil after comparing Israel to Nazi Germany. Brazilian people disagree with his ignorance.
Lula regularly taunts persecuted opposition leaders in authoritarian regimes such as Venezuela and Russia. The impact of this disturbing rhetoric in both countries is almost certainly zero, but partly seems to be aimed at mobilizing the president's far-left supporters at home.

Lula is also a tyrant in the making. He's packing the Brazilian courts and using his power to stop his opposition from winning the next election. Bolsonaro, whatever you may think of him, should NOT have been barred from running for office. https://t.co/jZ9MRwBigJ
Brazilian President Lula Da Silva is hailed in some circles in Washington as a champion of democracy. Well, he just told Venezuelan opposition leader @MariaCorinaYA to “stop crying” and let dictator Nicolás Maduro choose his opponent as he fixes yet another “election.” https://t.co/csiAgp1Frx
