Diplomatic dispute escalates: Israel declares Brazil President Lula da Silva unwelcomed for comparing Gaza war to Holocaust
Tuesday, 20 February 2024 Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's comparison of Israel's military campaign in Gaza to the Holocaust has unleashed a diplomatic firestorm, with Brazil recalling its ambassador Monday and Israel declaring Lula "persona non grata." "He's persona non grata in the state of Israel so long as he doesn't retract his remarks and apologize," Katz said of Lula.
Israel accused Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva of trivializing the Holocaust and causing offence to the Jewish people on Sunday after he likened the Israeli war against Hamas militants in Gaza to the Nazi genocide during World War Two.
