Brazil recalls its ambassador from Israel, AFP reports

Brazil has recalled its ambassador from Israel, unnamed diplomatic sources were quoted as saying to Agence France-Presse (AFP).

The decision to recall Frederico Meyer comes amid tensions between Brazil and Israel over the latter's attacks on Gaza, and an exchange of statements over the war in February.

There are no plans to immediately replace the recalled ambassador, AFP reports.

“There were no conditions for him to return” to Israel, sources told AFP.
