# Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva accused Israel of carrying out premeditated genocide in the occupied Palestinian territory of Gaza. At a joint media conference in Paris with French president Emmanuel Macron he said what is happening in Gaza is not a war. He said it’s genocide being carried out by a highly prepared army against women and children. The French president said the coming days would be decisive to halt the conflict.
