The President of Brazil likens Israel to Hitler's regime, and Tel Aviv recalls its ambassador. The Brazilian president told reporters in Addis Ababa, where he attended an African Union summit, that “what is happening in the Gaza Strip is not a war, it is genocide,” adding, “It is a war between a highly prepared army and women and children.” The Israeli Prime Minister described the Brazilian President's statements as "shameful and dangerous" Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid also considered the Brazilian president's statements "disgraceful, anti-Semitic, and indicative of ignorance"
