They are also against us. Brazil recalled its ambassador to Israel for consultations in Brazil, following the operation
The Brazilian Foreign Ministry announced this morning that it was recalling Brazil's ambassador to Israel, Henrique Pinto, to his country for consultations, due to the "unacceptable escalation" in the operation in Gaza.
The Foreign Ministry statement said: "Brazil strongly condemns the disproportionate use of force by Israel in the Gaza Strip. This is causing a large number of civilian casualties, including women and children.".
In addition, Brazil announced that, due to the "serious situation", it supports the proposal of the UN Human Rights Committee to establish a commission of inquiry into war crimes committed during the operation.
The Foreign Ministry reacted sharply to the move, saying, "Brazil is taking this step with double standards, becoming part of the problem instead of trying to contribute to the solution. This behavior explains why Brazil, which is an economic and cultural giant, remains irrelevant in the political arena.",
Last week, the Ecuadorian government announced that the ambassador to Israel, Guillermo Basanta, would be returned to his country.
At the same time, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu welcomed this morning "the UN Council's decision to investigate Israel's war crimes." Davutoglu said that "the atrocities committed by Israel should be investigated without delay." He called for "an immediate halt to the brutal attack on Gaza.".
But in Israel, people are not really excited about this investigative committee, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling the decision "a parody that must be condemned." Justice Minister Tzipi Livni wrote: "I have only two words: Look for me.""
