Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Wednesday called on the United Nations and the international community to protect “Palestinian and Israeli children” in the midst of the Israel-Hamas War. He also called for a ceasefire and an “international humanitarian intervention” so that human rights violations can be put to an end. Lula said that militant Islamist group Hamas should release Israeli children “kidnapped from their families”, while calling on Israel to stop bombings to allow Palestinian children and their mothers to leave the Gaza Strip and cross the border with Egypt. “An international humanitarian intervention is urgently needed,” Lula wrote on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. It will continue to work for the promotion of peace and in defense of human rights in the world”, said Lula.
