Mexico Declines Trump’s Gaza Peace Board and Reaffirms Support for Palestine

"Brazil signalled conditional openness to joining a proposed international “Peace Council” on Gaza, with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva stressing that any such framework must include Palestinian representation to be credible.

In a recorded interview with Brazilian news outlet Universo Online (UOL) on Thursday, Lula said Brazil would consider participation only if the council’s mandate is limited to Gaza and Palestinians are present at the table. “Any path that does not include Palestinians cannot be considered a peace committee,” he said.

Lula revealed that he conveyed this position directly to US President Donald Trump, telling him that Brazil has “every interest” in participating if the initiative is genuinely focused on Gaza. He criticised ideas circulating about post-war reconstruction, arguing that some proposals resemble “a tourist resort more than reconstruction,” and questioned who would rebuild homes, hospitals, and bakeries destroyed during the war.

The Brazilian president also said he had spoken with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, expressing Brazil’s readiness to take part in any serious international effort, while reiterating that Palestinian inclusion is a non-negotiable condition.

The interview coincided with the circulation of images showing Lula wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh after receiving it from the newly appointed Palestinian ambassador to Brazil, Marwan Jibril, during the presentation of credentials ceremony at the Planalto Palace in Brasília earlier this week.

On relations with Washington, Lula said he is working to arrange a visit to the United States, likely in the first week of March, for a face-to-face meeting with Trump. He said discussions between them should be direct, describing Brazil and the United States as the “two largest democracies in the West.” Lula added that no subject is off limits for him, except Brazil’s sovereignty, which he described as “sacred.”"

Unbelievable. After months of propaganda claiming Maduro is the head of the dangerous drug-smuggling cartel, the US government has admitted it was all a ruse in order to kidnap a sitting head of state.

Brazil's Health Minister, Antonio Padilha, says the government is sending drugs, doctors & medical equipment to Venezuela in response to the US bombing of a dialysis center there. "We can't forget that Venezuela sent 135,000m³ of Oxygen to Manaus during the pandemic," he said.
