Israel to reprimand Brazilian ambassador over Lula's Gaza remarks

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on Sunday he would summon Brazil's ambassador for a reprimand over remarks made by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who has been harshly critical of the conduct of the Gaza war.

"No one will compromise Israel's right to defend itself," Katz said on X, adding that the envoy would be summoned on Monday. The post did not specify what Lula remarks Katz was responding to. (Writing by Dan Williams)
