Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates // Condemns the Israeli attack on President Lula and expresses deep appreciation for his supportive stance towards our just cause.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemns the Israeli attack on the President of the Federal Republic of Brazil, Mr. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, considering it within the framework of prejudiced judgments and positions.

The ministry expresses its strong support and deep appreciation for President Lula, as a friend of oppressed peoples, advocate for international justice and peace, and defender of human values against injustice, oppression, and crimes against humanity. History has recorded his honorable and untarnished positions.

The Palestinian people have become accustomed to President Lula standing firmly and steadfastly by their side, defending their inalienable rights. He has also stood with other peoples and humanitarian causes throughout his long struggle and humanitarian journey, making him a target for attacks by enemies of humanity and justice. History has proven the pivotal role of such steadfast positions adopted by President Lula in ending colonialism and dismantling apartheid systems, similar to the friendly South Africa. These positions are widely sought today to end the last apartheid system in the world and stop the genocidal war committed by Israeli colonization against the entire Palestinian people, especially in Gaza.

The ministry reaffirms its full support for President Lula and the friendly Brazilian people, urging all free individuals and world leaders to support our people's rights and stand on the right side of history.

Wizara ya Mambo ya Nje na Wahamiaji // Yalaani Mashambulizi ya Israel kwa Rais Lula na Inashukuru Kwa Msimamo Wake wa Kuunga Mkono Kadhia Yetu ya Haki.

Wizara ya Mambo ya Nje na Wahamiaji inalaani vikali mashambulizi ya Israel kwa Rais wa Brazil, Mheshimiwa Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, ikiona kuwa ni kitendo kilichojikita katika hukumu na msimamo wa awali.

Tunapenda kuonyesha ushirikiano wetu wa dhati na kutoa shukrani kubwa kwa Rais Lula kwa kuwa rafiki wa watu wanaodhulumiwa, mstari wa mbele katika kutetea haki na amani kimataifa, na mtetezi wa thamani za kibinadamu dhidi ya dhulma, ukandamizaji, na jinai dhidi ya ubinadamu. Historia inashuhudia nyendo zake za kuvutia na zenye hadhi ya juu.

Watu wa Palestina wameweza kuthamini kwa kina msimamo imara na thabiti wa Rais Lula, akiwasimamia kwa nguvu na kudumu, na kutetea haki zao zisizopaswa kubadilishwa. Pia, amesimama pamoja na watu na masuala ya kibinadamu katika safari yake ndefu ya ujamaa na utu, akijikuta kuwa lengo la mashambulizi kutoka kwa wapinzani wa haki na ubinadamu. 

Historia inafichua jukumu muhimu la misimamo imara kama huu anaouchukua Rais Lula katika kusitisha ukoloni na kuvunja mifumo ya ubaguzi wa rangi, kama ilivyokuwa nchini Afrika Kusini. Msimamo huu ni wa muhimu sana leo katika kumaliza mfumo wa ubaguzi wa rangi wa mwisho duniani na kukomesha vita vya kuangamiza vinavyotekelezwa na ukoloni wa Israel dhidi ya watu wote wa Palestina, hasa Gaza.

Wizara inathibitisha kwa nguvu ushirikiano wake kamili na Rais Lula na watu wa Brazil, na kuwahimiza watu huru na viongozi wa dunia kusimama pamoja nasi katika kusaidia haki za watu wetu na kusimama upande sahihi wa historia.
