Israel's response 'as grave' as Hamas' attacks – Brazil's Lula

BRASÍLIA: Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Monday accused Israel of 'killing innocent people without any criteria' in the Gaza Strip, deeming its actions there 'as grave' as the October 7 attacks by Palestinian militant group Hamas.

'After the act of terrorism provoked by Hamas, the consequences, the solution of the state of Israel, is as grave as that of Hamas. They are killing innocent people without any criteria,' Lula said at an official ceremony in the capital Brasilia.
