According to the organization formed by deputies and senators aligned with the Israeli government, the position adopted by the cause “indignation” and does not represent the feeling of the majority of the Brazilian population. The group’s president, Senator Carlos Viana (Somos-MG), said the Brazilian government “chooses to align those who spread terror rather than firmly positioned itself alongside free and democratic nations.”
