Abstract

The Hamas-led attack on Israel evidenced how the Palestine question is a significant point of contention between the two major political spectrums in Brazil. The conservative bloc is pushing for a pro-Tel Aviv stand, while Lula’s government criticizes Netanyahu’s pro-war position. There is little room for Brazilian diplomacy to play a role in the conflict unless the polarization in the country eases or the North-American position changes.
