Foreign ministers also called for an overhaul of the UN Security Council. The highlights of the assembly were disclosed by Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira at the end of the gathering in Rio de Janeiro.
"Our inability to unite and respond to this challenging crisis is evident to everyone," said Brazil's representative on the United Nations Security Council, Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira.
Brazil’s representative at the UN emphasized the country's condemnation of acts of terrorism against Israeli civilians and urged the immediate release of the hostages.
