More than half of Brazilians would like the Lula government to get closer to the Israeli government. This is what the preliminary data from the Atlas/Intel survey, carried out at the request of the NGO Stand With Us Brasil, announced this Thursday (27).
According to the survey, 64% of those interviewed believe that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva should strengthen dialogue with Israel, while 24% believe that the government is closer than it should be and could reduce contact. Another 12% consider the current relationship sufficient.
When asked what position Brazil should adopt in the face of the conflict, 39.2% believe that the country should support the creation of two states, while 33.9% understand that the government should support a peace negotiation without aligning itself with either side.

How do interviewees inform themselves?
Regarding sources of information about the conflict in Gaza, 59.9% of those interviewed say that social networks are the main source of information, and 52.3% say that they influence their view of the conflict.
Almost half of those interviewed (48.8%) consider themselves to have high or very high knowledge about the most recent events of the conflict, while only 11.7% recognize that they know little or very little.
Conducted between September 10 and 23, before the ceasefire agreement, the national survey included 1,812 interviews, carried out through random digital recruitment among the Brazilian adult population. The margin of error is 2 percentage points, with a 95% confidence level.
