On February 18, local time, Lula, Brazil, who is visiting Africa, attended the 37th AU summit held in Ethiopia. Lula said in an interview that the conflict in the Gaza Strip is not war, but genocide.
Lula said that the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict "is not a soldier-to-soldier war, but a war between heavily armed soldiers and women and children," and compared the incident to Hitler's ** against the Jews. Lula once again stressed Brazil's strong support for the Palestinian people and the fact that humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip could not be stopped.
"It's ridiculous that when I see rich countries announcing that they will stop providing humanitarian relief to the Palestinians, I can't help but wonder how much conscience these people have who are blind to the situation in the Gaza Strip," Lula said. The conflict in the Gaza Strip is not war, but genocide. This is not a soldier-to-soldier war, but a war between heavily armed soldiers and women and children. What is happening to the people of the Gaza Strip is historically incomparable, and in fact the situation in the Gaza Strip today is the same as it was when Hitler decided to do the Jews.
In this regard, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement condemning Lula's statement and said that Israel would summon the Brazilian ambassador to Israel.
According to information released by the health department of the Gaza Strip on the morning of February 18 local time, since the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on October 7 last year, the military operations launched by the Israeli army have killed 28,985 people in the Gaza Strip and injured another 68,883.
