ALBAWABA - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has spoken out against Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva for comparing Israel's actions in Gaza to Hitler's. Netanyahu said Silva's words went too far.
Silva's comments came during a press conference in Addis Ababa, where he likened Israel's actions in Gaza to genocide, drawing comparisons to Hitler's treatment of Jews.
Netanyahu called Silva's remarks "shameful and alarming," saying they belittled the Holocaust and Israel's right to self-defense.
In response to Silva's comments, Israeli Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz said Brazil's ambassador to Israel would be summoned for reprimand.
This highlights tensions between Israel and Brazil and shows how sensitive discussions about Israel's actions in Gaza can be.
