“We ask the Brazilian government to call the Brazilian ambassador to Israel for consultations and not to promulgate the military and security cooperation agreements signed by (former president Jair) Bolsonaro with Israel,” the text mentions.
The letter recalled a resolution passed by a large majority of United Nations (UN) member countries to demand an urgent ceasefire, "but Israel has declared that it has no intention of stopping and has intensified attacks against the Palestinian people." .
Representative Jandira Feghali highlighted the need to show a tougher position towards Israel, although she clarified that this will happen once the Brazilians who are in Gaza are evacuated.
