Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva welcomed the news of a cease-fire agreement Wednesday between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas while continuing to back a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Lula praised the news on his X account while noting the need for both parties to uphold the peace deal.

“After so much suffering and destruction, the news that a ceasefire in Gaza has finally been negotiated brings hope. May the cessation of the conflict and the release of the hostages help build a lasting solution that brings peace and stability to the entire Middle East,” he said.

Brazil’s Foreign Ministry also issued a statement on the development.

“Brazil urges the parties involved to respect the terms of the agreement and to guarantee the permanent cessation of hostilities, the release of all hostages and the unimpeded entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, as well as to ensure the necessary conditions for the beginning of the urgent process of rebuilding its civilian infrastructure,” it said.

Gaza is almost completely in shambles--except probably for some land and buildings along the coast!

Recall that Jarrod Kushner thinks this is a grand place for "development"!!

Bibi has shown what a strong man he is, and how good Israe is at executing a scorched earth policy.

Biden says Hamas and all the other bad guys have been severely weakened, so Israel is victorious.

Reconstruction needs to start.
Perhaps the USA can stop sending weapons and send food, water, medical supplies and medical teams, and lots of building materials instead?
Start with the homes, then hospitals and schools.

Trump can take credit - he will - as long as he keeps up the flow of needed things.
Going to take decades.

Somewhere in the Biden category of leaders and is a good man.

Bibi and the orange pendejo are going to keep up with the genocide so jarvanka can turn Gaza into a playground for the wealthy, not as long a flight as it it to Dubai.
