Israeli assault on Gaza aid convoy beyond 'ethical or legal limits': Brazil
The Brazilian government says the Israeli regime’s recent deadly assault on Palestinian civilians seeking food aid in the besieged Gaza Strip shows that the occupying entity has no “ethical or legal limits.”
“Humanity is failing the civilians of Gaza. And it’s time to prevent further massacres,” Brazil’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Friday. “It is up to the international community to call a halt to it and avoid new atrocities.”
Pointing to the Israeli killing of more than 100 Palestinians in the attack on Thursday, the Foreign Ministry said the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s regime “has once again shown, through its actions and statements, that the military action in Gaza has no ethical or legal limits.”
At least 112 people were killed and more than 750 others wounded on Thursday as the Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians who had surrounded a convoy of 38 aid trucks in Gaza, with the Palestinian health ministry calling the incident a "massacre.”
The latest Israeli crime comes as NGOs and UN experts have on several occasions voiced fears of famine in the besieged territory, which is completely cut off from aid by the occupation since October last year.
Global condemnation poured in following the deadly attack by the Israeli occupation forces on the aid convoy in Gaza, which has been under the illegal regime’s incessant bombardment for the past five months.
Last Month, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva likened Israel’s brutal war on Gaza to the Nazi genocide during World War Two.
Israel waged its genocidal war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has killed 30,228 Palestinians and injured 71,377 others.
The Tel Aviv regime has also imposed a “complete siege” on the territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
