Brazil calls for Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and resumption of humanitarian aid

Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira has called for Israel to completely withdraw from Gaza and has denounced Israel’s humanitarian aid blockade to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as “unacceptable” during a meeting of BRICS foreign ministers, Al Jazeera reported on Monday. 

“It is necessary to ensure the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, the release of all the captives and prisoners, and the entry of humanitarian aid,” Vieira said during the meeting in Rio de Janeiro.

Brazil holds the rotating presidency of the economic bloc for 2025.
