The shadow of the diplomatic crisis between the Zionist regime and Brazil over the meeting between Blinken and da Silva

Anthony Blinken, who arrived in the capital of Brazil on Tuesday night, met with Lula da Silva at the Presidential Palace in Brasilia for about 45 minutes.

From Barron’s news website, based on this report, the parties discussed the US presidential election in this meeting.

During this meeting, the President of Brazil, in a brief statement to reporters, noted that the US presidential election is coming up in November.

The US Secretary of State also said: Politics in the United States has become “very polarized” and the election will reach six or seven states known as “battlefields”, including Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada.

According to this report, Blinken will travel to the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the meeting of foreign ministers of the Group of 20 (G20); Where it is expected that “Sergei Lavrov”, his Russian counterpart, will also be present there.

It should be noted that a tense meeting was threatened after Brazil’s president compared the US ally Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip to the “Holocaust”.

On Sunday, in a press conference during the 37th African Union Summit in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, Dasilva accused the Zionist regime of committing “genocide” against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the war of this regime in Gaza with actions “Adolf Hitler” compared to the destruction of the Jews.

He stated that “this is not a war of soldiers against soldiers”, and added: “This is a war between a very prepared army with women and children.”

The Zionist regime, in response to the Brazilian president’s comment comparing the Israeli military invasion of the Gaza Strip with the Holocaust, called Lula da Silva an “undesirable element”.

This conflict escalated yesterday (Tuesday) since Foreign Minister Israel Katz called Lula’s statements “illusory”, and Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira replied that Katz “lies”.

The Zionist regime’s war against the Gaza Strip has entered its 138th day today, and at the same time, the killings and crimes of the Zionist regime against civilians and Palestinian refugees continue.

Meanwhile, the United States of America vetoed the draft resolution proposed by Algeria in a meeting on Tuesday, February 20, 2024, local time, which called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire that must be respected by all parties. .

This resolution won 13 positive votes of the 15-member Security Council, but the United States opposed it, causing it not to be approved or the same veto of the resolution. England, another member of the Security Council, also abstained.

This is the third time that the proposed resolution to establish a ceasefire in Gaza has been vetoed by the US. A resolution to be approved by the Security Council requires 9 votes without opposition or the veto of five permanent members of this council (America, England, Russia, China and France).
