Rio de janeiro: Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has made a strong appeal for global intervention, asserting that the world cannot remain indifferent to what he describes as genocide in Gaza. Addressing the plenary session of the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, Lula da Silva emphasized the urgent need for international action against Israel.

According to Anadolu Agency, the Brazilian leader's remarks highlight the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where he accused Israel of the indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians and using hunger as a weapon of war. His call to action comes at a critical juncture, as truce talks between Israel and Hamas have resumed in Qatar. These negotiations aim to address a recent ceasefire and prisoner exchange proposal, with Hamas indicating a 'positive' response to mediators late Friday.

The president's statements reflect growing international concern over the situation in Gaza, as global leaders and organizations continue to seek a resolution to the conflict. Lula da Silva's comments underscore the urgency of diplomatic efforts to address the humanitarian needs and restore peace in the region.
