On February 24, 2024, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians, drawing parallels with the Nazi Holocaust. 

This strong rhetoric follows his previous controversial statement equating Israel's military incursion in Gaza to the Holocaust. Israel vehemently denies genocide charges, stating that its actions are targeted at the militant group Hamas rather than the Palestinian people.

"I met with the Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority, @DrShtayyeh , about the situation in Gaza. We spoke about the need for a two-state solution and he thanked Brazil for its solidarity and support for an immediate ceasefire in the region and an end to the attacks that are killing Palestinian civilians." , said da Silva in a post on X.

The ongoing conflict has resulted in a significant number of casualties, with international efforts, including talks mediated by Egypt and Qatar, attempting to bring an end to the hostilities.

The situation remains tense, with various nations expressing concerns and South Africa filing a genocide case against Israel in the International Court of Justice.

Israel, in response, has intensified its bombing campaign in Gaza and issued an ultimatum to Hamas, threatening a widespread fight.

There are also reports of Israel planning to invade the Rafah camp in Gaza, home to over a million displaced individuals.

The situation is complex and evolving, with diplomatic efforts ongoing to seek a resolution.
