Since its foundation, the PT has condemned any and all acts of violence against civilians, wherever they come from. We therefore condemn the unacceptable attacks, killings and kidnapping of civilians committed by both Hamas and the State of Israel, which is carrying out genocide against the population of Gaza at this very moment through a series of war crimes;

The PT congratulates the efforts undertaken by the Brazilian Government, under the leadership of President Lula, aimed at the rapid repatriation of Brazilians in the region of the conflict and for access to humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip region, with the removal of the blockades imposed by Israel that directly impact the civilian population, in addition to the prompt restoration of the water supply. electricity, food, medicine, and fuel in the region, as well as advocating for the immediate release of the hostages.

The PT expresses support for Brazil’s actions, including in the UN Security Council, in line with Brazilian diplomatic tradition, in favor of an immediate ceasefire and for compliance with UN resolutions, especially those guaranteeing the existence of the State of Palestine and a peaceful relationship with Israel;

PT warns against the risks of an escalation of the conflict. The world doesn’t need more wars. The world needs peace;

The PT calls on its militants to participate in activities in defense of peace, in defense of the two-state solution (Palestine and Israel) and in defense of the rights of the Palestinian people to a peaceful life with national sovereignty.
