Brazil has announced it will convene an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council in response to the deadly attack on Israel by Hamas militants. Brazil, which currently holds the Council's rotating presidency, strongly condemned the assault in a statement expressing solidarity with Israel. It also reaffirmed commitment to a two-state solution to the conflict. At least 40 Israelis were killed in the unprecedented rocket barrage from Gaza. Israel has declared a state of war and vowed retaliation against Hamas. As tensions escalate, Brazil is calling the UN session as part of urgent diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the crisis.
