“The Brazilian government considers unacceptable escalation of violence between Israel and Palestine. We strongly condemn the disproportionate use of force by Israel in the Gaza Strip, from which large numbers of civilian casualties, including women and children resulted,” the Brazilian government said in its statement. “The Brazilian Government reiterates his call for an immediate ceasefire between the parties.”
