This Monday, the 26th, the brothers published excerpts of the prime minister’s speech. “We have members of the Brazilian Parliament here, including the two brothers, Eduardo and Flávio Bolsonaro. It’s great to see you from Brazil,” said Netanyahu. “There are other parliamentarians here and distinguished guests. I want to welcome you all.”

Eduardo Bolsonaro released another excerpt from the event, with a speech by the Minister of Diaspora and Combating Anti-Semitism in Israel, Amichai Chikli. In his speech, the minister mentions the two brothers and then wishes Flávio good luck in the presidential race. “We wish you, Flávio, the best of luck in the presidential race,” said Chikli.
Bolsonaro’s children participate in the 2nd International Conference on Combating Anti-Semitism, which takes place this Monday, 26th, and this Tuesday, 27th, in Jerusalem.
As shown by Estadão, the objective of the trip is to reinforce Flávio’s pre-candidacy for the Presidency of the Republic with leaders of the international right and consolidate the senator as his father’s political successor. Flávio also planned to participate in a gala dinner with Netanyahu.

In addition to Israel, the senator must visit Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, with a return to Brazil scheduled for February. The agenda was organized by his brother, Eduardo. Communicator Paulo Figueiredo also participates in the trip.
Figueiredo says that the senator must show Israelis that the stance of a possible Bolsonaro 2 government towards the country will be the “complete opposite” of the administration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). The PT member was considered persona non grata in Israel after he compared the bombings in Gaza to the Holocaust.
This is Flávio’s second international trip since announcing his intention to compete for Palácio do Planalto. The first was to the United States. As Coluna do Estadão revealed, the senator attempted meetings with high-ranking members of the White House, with whom he intended to take photographic records to demonstrate prestige with Donald Trump’s government, but returned frustrated.
Flávio announced in December that he had been nominated by his father as Bolsonaro’s candidate for President in 2026. Jair Bolsonaro confirmed the choice on Christmas Day, in a handwritten letter. Since then, in addition to international trips, the senator has held conversations with Centrão leaders and businesspeople.
