Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has decided to recall Brazil's ambassador to Israel amid escalating tensions over the war in Gaza. The ambassador, Frederico Meyer, will be relocated to another post in Geneva. This move comes after frequent criticisms by Lula of the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Diplomatic sources indicate that Brazil, a BRICS member, will not immediately appoint a replacement, further straining relations between the two countries.
