Palestine’s ambassador to Brazil Ibrahim Alzeben said Brazil’s ratification of the Mercosur-Palestine free trade agreement encourages other countries in the bloc to do the same and aids in the process of peace. He highlights the political relevance of the Brazilian action.

Brazil, which currently holds the rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council, presented a resolution based on the opinions of other members calling for humanitarian pauses in attacks between Israel and Hamas to allow aid to enter the Gaza Strip. A United States veto prevented the approval of the resolution.

The Brazilian government chaired a United Nations Security Council meeting this Sunday (8) on the attacks in Israel and Gaza. The country reaffirmed its commitment to a two-state solution in the region, with an economically viable Palestinian State in peace and security with Israel.
