Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said that generations of Palestinians "will carry the pain and trauma left by the genocide committed by the Netanyahu" government, Middle East Eye reported. The Brazilian leader's statement reflects growing international criticism of Israel's military operations in Gaza.

Lula has previously been outspoken on the conflict, placing Brazil among countries vocal in condemning Israeli actions in the territory. He has made similar comments about the humanitarian impact of the war on Palestinians before.
