Saudi Arabia, Palestine, and Jordan – the three Arab countries that lifted the ban on Brazilian beef imports. Several countries barred the entry of the product into their markets after an isolated and atypical case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), also known as “mad cow disease,” was reported in the Northern region of Brazil. Two other Arab countries, however, remain among the nations upholding the ban: Qatar and Bahrain. The information was given to ANBA by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Tebet, Feghali, Haddad, Aziz, Kassab, Boulos, Temer, Amin, Maluf, and many others are some of the Arab family names heard in Brazilian politics nowadays, and that passed through the highest positions of the legislative and executive powers of the country. Their presence in Brazilian politics is not just a coincidence. Since the first Syrian-Lebanese diaspora, which began late in the 19th century due to the instability of the Ottoman Empire, Arabs and their descendants conquered space in the country in the most varied fields, being most recognized for their work in trade, healthcare, law, and politics.
