The Israeli Foreign Minister said this Monday that Brazilian President Lula da Silva will not be welcomed in Israel until he retracts comments he made comparing the war against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip to the Nazi genocide during World War II, promoting Reuters.
“We will not forget and we will not forgive. This is a serious anti-Semitic attack. On behalf of me and the citizens of Israel, tell President Lula that he is persona non grata in Israel until he takes back his words.” “The Israeli foreign minister told the Brazilian ambassador, according to a statement from Katz’s office.
Israel accused Lula of downplaying the Holocaust and insulting the Jewish people with statements during the 37th African Union summit in Addis Ababa.
This Monday, Katz summoned the Brazilian ambassador to the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem to reprimand him for his comments.
