Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva criticized Israel, stating that its actions in Gaza are the “equivalent of terrorism.” Lula condemned the killing of innocent women and children in Israel’s war against Hamas, emphasizing that even if a place has a “monster inside,” it doesn’t justify killing children. The comments come amid ongoing conflict, with fighting around Gaza’s largest hospital. Lula’s statements have drawn criticism from Jewish groups in Brazil, with the Brazil-Israel Institute accusing him of equating the actions of a terrorist group with Israel’s military response.
