'Premeditated genocide': Brazil President Lula slams Israel over Gaza war

Jun 06, 2025

Paris [France], June 6: Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva accused Israel of carrying out "premeditated genocide" in Gaza during a visit to Paris.
"What is happening in Gaza is not a war. It's a genocide being carried out by a highly prepared army against women and children," said Lula at a joint news conference in Paris with French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday.
"[It is] a premeditated genocide from a far-right government that is waging a war, including against the interests of its own people," he said of Israel's 20-month offensive, which has killed at least 54,607 Palestinians so far, according to the enclave's Health Ministry. The Brazilian leader's condemnation of Israel's offensive came as German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul told his visiting Israeli counterpart, Gideon Saar, to allow more humanitarian aid into the enclave in accordance with "prevailing international law".
