Statements from Israeli officials on emigration of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip

The Brazilian government has learned with concern of the recent statements from Israeli officials calling for the emigration of the Palestinian population from the Gaza Strip to other countries and the rebuiIding of Israeli settlements in Gaza.

By proposing measures that constitute violations of international law, statements of this gravity deepen tensions and hinder the prospects of achieving peace in the region.

Brazil reaffirms its commitment to the two-state solution, with a economically viable Palestinian state coexisting alongside Israel, in peace and security, within mutually agreed and internationally recognized borders.
