To the Canal14 broadcaster,Netanyahu was commentingabout the expansion of theAbraham Accordsand the alleged lack of capacity of its main competitor,Gadi Eisenkot, in achieving this plan.
In South America, although it seems that Brazil has not completed this process, there are at least eight or nine countries that have already moved to our side. See, the Prime Minister of Israel must be someone who functions as a general manager. Gadi Eisenkot does not have this. He does not have the contacts, he does not have the experience.
Netanyahu did not explain whether, if he does not complete the change, refers to the defeat ofFlávio Bolsonaro(PL), thatlost in the presidential electionstoLuiz Inácio Lula da Silva(PT), on Sunday (25).
However, the Prime Minister has made several gestures to Flávio in recent years. Most recently, in early January,the senator from PL was in Jerusalem,where he met with Netanyahu and committed to transferring the Brazilian embassy from Tel Aviv to the city. In October, Netanyahu called Flávio again andto invite to visit Israel as a way to "renew the deep friendship".
In parallel, theIsraeli leader is experiencing a diplomatic crisis after criticism from the Brazilian president regarding Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip, classified asgenocideby Lula.
Currently, theLatin America is experiencing a trend towards the election of right-wing governments, known asblue wave.These states tend to have agreater affinity with the Israeli agendawhilenations considered left-wing tend to defend the Palestinian cause.
Netanyahu and his main opponent, Eisenkot, are facing offindirectlynext Tuesday, when Israeli voters will vote in parties. The parties, in turn, mustgather the support of at least 61 of the 120 parliamentarians to elect a new prime minister or to continue the current one.
