Brazil recalls envoy in protest at Israel atrocities
Brazil has recalled its ambassador to Israel in protest at the Tel Aviv regime's "disproportionate use of force" in the besieged Gaza Strip.
"The Brazilian government considers unacceptable escalation of violence"¦. 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 a statement on Thursday.
"Given the seriousness of the situation, the Brazilian government voted for the resolution of the Human Rights Council of the United Nations on the subject. In addition, the ambassador of Brazil in Tel Aviv was called to Brasilia for consultations," it added.
The event came a day after the Ecuadoran government recalled its ambassador from Tel Aviv because of the Israeli invasion of Gaza.
"We condemn the Israeli military incursion into Palestinian territory, we require cessation of operations and indiscriminate attacks against civilians," Ecuadoran Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino said.
Since July 8, Israeli warplanes have been pounding numerous sites in the Gaza Strip, demolishing homes and burying families in the rubble. Israeli tanks also began a ground offensive against the impoverished Palestinian land on July 17.
In response, Palestinian resistance fighters have continued to rain a barrage of rockets into the occupied Palestinian territories.
