Brazil's President Demands Israel Release Detained Activists
Share:
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has called for Israel to immediately release detained activists, including at least one Brazilian citizen. A Spanish citizen and the Brazilian national appeared for their second court hearing in the Israeli city of Ashkelon. The case highlights growing diplomatic tensions as Brazil, under Lula's leadership, has been increasingly critical of Israeli policies and supportive of Palestinian rights in international forums.
