During his visit to Egypt, Brazilian President Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva, alongside Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, engaged in discussions focusing on cooperation and the Israel-Hamas conflict. The visit, marking the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Egypt and Brazil, included Lula's criticism of the international response to the conflict in Gaza, particularly condemning the reduction of humanitarian aid to UNRWA by wealthy countries as "cowardly" and "inhumane" and Israel's actions in Gaza, which he described as unjustifiable, stating "under the pretext of fighting Hamas, Israel kills women and children" and there's "no explanation for Israel’s behavior". Lula announced Brazil's decision to increase its financial support to UNRWA and slammed the UN for its 'failure'. Additionally, Lula and his wife explored cultural sites in Egypt, including the Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum. The visit also saw the signing of cooperation deals, with Lula planning to continue his diplomatic tour to Ethiopia.
