Brazil: Foreign Minister accuses his Israeli colleague of “lying” in the Holocaust dispute. Lula received support from two South American heads of state on Tuesday.
The United States, Israel's biggest supporter, has contradicted Lula's statements. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who landed in Brazil on Wednesday for the meeting of G20 foreign ministers, is also expected to meet with Lula during his visit. The background: Lula accused Israel of a "genocide" in the Gaza Strip on Sunday at an African Union summit.
