Prime Minister Naftali Bennett speaks with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for the first time since taking office. Bolsonaro extends an invitation to the new prime minister to visit Brazil, and Bennett reciprocates the offer.
According to the Prime Minister’s Office, Bennett tells Bolsonaro he would love to host him at the Brazilian diplomatic mission in Jerusalem, “whose opening was a historic first step.”
Bolsonaro has pledged to move the Brazilian Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, but so far it has only officially opened a trade office in the capital.
Bennett says he welcomes Brazil’s recent election to the United Nations Security Council due to its “steadfast and enduring support of Israel in the international arena,” according to the Prime Minister’s Office.
The two leaders agreed to expand their ties in a range of areas, in particular the economic and high-tech fields.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
