ISTANBUL: Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Sunday called for action against Israel, saying the world cannot remain indifferent to the Gaza genocide, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported.
Speaking at the plenary session of the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the president said: "We cannot remain indifferent to the genocide carried out by Israel in Gaza, the indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians and the use of hunger as a weapon of war."
His comments come as Gaza truce talks between Israel and Hamas resumed in Qatar, with Hamas saying late Friday that it had submitted a "positive" response to mediators regarding a recent Gaza ceasefire and prisoner exchange proposal.
