Brazil has recalled its ambassador from Israel and will not immediately appoint a replacement, a diplomatic source tells AFP, ratcheting up tensions between the two countries over Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.
Frederico Meyer was initially recalled for consultations with his government after Brazil and Israel exchanged harsh statements in February over the conflict. “There were no conditions for him to return” to Israel, the source says.
