Death of Palestinian citizens during an Israel Defense Forces incursion into the West Bank city of Jenin

The Brazilian government learned with regret of the death of nine Palestinian citizens by the Israeli Security Forces during an incursion carried out today in a refugee camp in the city of Jenin, in the West Bank.

The Brazilian government conveys its condolences to the families of the victims and expresses its solidarity to the people and government of Palestine.

Brazil follows with great concern the increasing tension between Israeli forces and civilians in the West Bank, which has caused hundreds of deaths in 2022.

Brazil reiterates its commitment to the two-state solution, with Palestine and Israel living together in peace, in security and within mutually agreed upon and internationally recognized borders. To this end, the Brazilian government urges both parties to refrain from actions that affect the mutual trust necessary for the urgent resumption of dialogue towards a negotiated solution to the conflict.
