May 21, 2025 – The Brazilian Government has issued a stern condemnation of the recent escalation of violence in the Gaza Strip, with Brazil deploring the intensified aerial bombardment and expanded ground operations that have resulted in over 300 civilian casualties, including women and children. The situation has prompted widespread displacement, with more than 60,000 people forced to flee their homes.
Brazil’s Foreign Ministry has expressed “grave concern” at the dire humanitarian situation unfolding in Gaza, where a complete blockade has left the territory on the brink of famine. With food and medicine supplies dwindling, Brazil is urging Israel to grant immediate and unimpeded access to the territory, as required by International Humanitarian Law.
The Brazilian Government reiterated its long-standing position that any claim to permanent authority over occupied territory is incompatible with international law. The only viable solution to the conflict, according to Brazil, lies in the definitive implementation of the two-State solution. This approach has been a cornerstone of Brazil’s stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for years.
Brazil also reiterated its condemnation of Israel’s declaration that it will “take control” of the entire Gaza Strip, which is seen as incompatible with the norms of international law. The Brazilian Government has repeatedly emphasized the need for an immediate and permanent cessation of hostilities, complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and release of remaining hostages.
The current crisis in Gaza highlights the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Brazil remains committed to supporting efforts that promote regional stability, respect for human rights, and adherence to international law.
The situation in Gaza serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of protracted conflict. As the international community comes together to address this crisis, Brazil’s commitment to finding a just and lasting solution is unwavering.
