The Brazilian government officials are happy to act on the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Palestine, said the Brazilian Foreign Ministry on Thursday (Aug 28). “Brazil believes that the ceasefire will contribute to bringing stability to the region and make it possible to find a definitive answer to the conflict, based on the solution of two States, living side by side, in peace and safety,” the note read.

During the conflict, Brazil recalled its ambassador in Tel Aviv for consultations and regarded the escalation of violence between Israel and Palestine inacceptable. After the ceasefire was communicated, the ministry went on to point out that Brazil’s ambassador in Israel, Henrique Pinto, is to return to Tel Aviv right after the consultations for which he was summoned are over.
