Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has recalled his ambassador to Israel for consultations, according to a column in newspaper Folha de S. Paulo published today.
The Brazilian ambassador was summoned by Israel’s foreign minister for a reprimand, following comments by Lula likening Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza to the Holocaust.
