Brazil’s ambassador to the UN Sergio Franca Danesehas called for an end to the flow of weapons used in “illegal acts” in Gaza in a speech to the UN Security Council, Al Jazeera reports.

Brazil also said the “wider Israeli-Palestinian conflict will only cease with an end to occupation” and that admitting Palestine as a full member of the United Nations would make “it clear that Israel can not determine the fate of Palestine’s sovereignty and statehood.”
