Netanyahu calls Lula’s speeches about Israel “shameful”.

The Prime Minister also announced the request for a Brazilian ambassador

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called “shameful” the statements of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who accused the country of promoting a “genocide” in the Gaza Strip and compared the deaths of Palestinian civilians in the conflict to the massacre of Jews promoted by Nazi Adolf Hitler.

In a statement on Sunday (18), the Prime Minister said that “comparing Israel and the Holocaust to the Nazis and Hitler crosses the red line”.

“The sentences uttered by the president of Brazil are shameful and serious, they belittle the Holocaust and represent an attempt to harm the Jewish people and Israel’s right to defense,” Netanyahu said.

Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Israel Katz also decided to “immediately summon” the Brazilian ambassador to Tel Aviv, Frederico Meyer, to express his “reprimand” for Lula’s statements, made during a press conference in Ethiopia.

“I wonder how great is the political consciousness of these people and how great is the heart of solidarity of these people who do not see that in the Gaza Strip there is not a war going on, but a genocide,” the president said. questioned about the suspension of financial transfers from rich countries to the United Nations Agency for Assistance to Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), accused by Israel of giving refuge to collaborators of the fundamentalist group Hamas.

According to the Brazilian president, the conflict in the Palestinian enclave is not “between soldiers”, but rather between “a highly trained army and women and children”.

“What is happening in the Gaza Strip to the Palestinian people does not exist at any other time in history. In fact, it existed when Hitler decided to kill the Jews,” he added. .
