247 President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said this Monday (4) that he was shocked by reports that the vast majority of people killed in the Gaza Strip by Israeli bombings were children or women. He criticized the international community’s lack of sensitivity to the deaths.
“I have already spoken to many presidents of Israel about this, I have spoken to many people in Palestine about this. But it seems to me that there are people who do not want peace, it seems to me that there are people who do not want two countries. And I can tell you that it is not on the side of the people. People want it. Those who don’t want to do it do it because they have other interests. I deeply regret it. I do. I’m sorry. I have never seen a war in which children and women prefer death, including women who wait for their children to be born so as not to see their children. People who bear the responsibility for peace, I honestly don’t know, what touches people’s sensibilities,” Lula said at a press conference in Germany.

Israel launched retaliatory strikes, ordered a full blockade of Gaza and began a major ground assault into the Palestinian enclave with the stated aim of defeating Hamas and freeing hostages. Israel has so far killed more than 17,000 people in the Gaza Strip.
On November 24, Qatar brokered an agreement between Israel and Hamas for a temporary ceasefire and the exchange of some prisoners and hostages, as well as the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
