Paris - SABA:
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva reiterated his accusation on Thursday that the Israeli occupation government is committing "deliberate genocide" in Gaza.
During a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron, Lula stated:
"What's happening in Gaza isn't war - it's genocide carried out by a heavily armed military against women and children. We witness this extermination daily, and it's become unacceptable."
- This marks Lula's repeated use of "genocide" to describe Israel's actions
- Macron signaled upcoming diplomatic efforts:
Intensified pressure with U.S. coordination
Critical days ahead for ceasefire negotiations
