“He hopes that President Lula will mitigate any impact of unlimited support for the occupying Israeli state,” the publication concludes.
Hamas originated in Palestine in the 1980s and constantly fights against Israel. The group has controlled the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian territory of 2.3 million people, since 2007.
