Brazil's president condemns Gaza genocide at BRICS summit

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva opened the BRICS conference, using his address to criticize the current state of multilateralism amid recent global conflicts.

Addressing leaders from 11 emerging BRICS nations gathered in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, Lula asserted that "we have witnessed an unparalleled collapse of multilateralism," 80 years after the defeat of fascism and the creation of the United Nations. He further warned that "hard-won advances, such as climate and trade regimes, are under threat."

In his speech, Lula strongly denounced Israel’s bombing of Gaza, urging the world to intervene and halt what he characterized as an Israeli "genocide."
