Lula slammed the Hamas\u2019 attack and the disproportionate response of Israel. \u201cThe solution for this crisis will only be long-lasting if we move quickly towards the creation of a Palestinian state. A Palestinian state that is recognized as a full member of the United Nations,\u201d said the president.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_342908\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-342908\" style=\"width: 332px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/lula-uniao-africana-600x400.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-342908\" src=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/lula-uniao-africana-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"332\" height=\"221\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-342908\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lula participated in the African Union Summit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With Shtayyeh, Lula talked about the situation in Gaza, and the prime minister thanked Lula for his support to the Palestinian state.<\/p>\n<p>On Brazil and Africa, Lula said that both have to blaze their own trails in the new world order that is arising, where a new governance has to be created, able to tackle the challenges of this time and age. He mentioned the energy and digital transition as part of this and said that without the developing countries, starting a new worldwide expansion cycle won\u2019t be possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrazil wants to grow together with Africa, but without enforcing any path,\u201d he said.

We\u2019ll collaborate for Africa to become autonomous in food and clean energy production,\u201d he said, arguing for climate and healthcare partnerships, too.<\/p>\n<p>The president argued that the U.N. Security Council should be more representative, without countries with veto power and with permanent members from Africa and Latin America. He also argued for the inclusion of more African countries as full members of the G20, of which Brazil is part of, and said that Brazil and Africa have common agendas to stand up for there. Lula ended his speech saying that \u201cthere is no Global South without Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translation by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President of Brazil had a meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh on Saturday (17) in Ethiopia.
