Brazil is severing all diplomatic relations with Israel and has decided to expel Israel\u2019s ambassador to Brazil and recall its ambassador to Tel Aviv.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

23 Feb 2024<\/em> – This was announced today by President Luis Ignacio da Silva in response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Days earlier, Lula had strongly criticized the Israeli government, comparing its actions in Gaza to the Holocaust, for which he was declared persona non grata.<\/p>\n

In response, Gustavo Petro, President of Colombia, commented on his X account (formerly Twitter):<\/p>\n

\u201cI express my total solidarity with President Lula of Brazil. In Gaza there is genocide and thousands of children, women and elderly civilians are being cowardly murdered. Lula has only spoken the truth and the truth must be defended or barbarism will destroy us. The whole region must unite to stop the violence in Palestine immediately. The ruling of the International Court of Justice on Israel must be implemented and have consequences in the diplomatic relations of all the countries of the world\u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Russian President Putin\u2019s statement on the matter was:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our sacred duty to help the people of Gaza. It is our duty as humanity, and it is a requirement of our faith\u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, South Africa has asked the UN court to declare Israel\u2019s occupation of the Palestinian territories illegal.<\/p>\n
