According to the news portal G1, members of the Brazilian government affirm that the president will consider factors such as the council’s objectives, which countries will agree to be part of the group, what those nations think about the war, and whether the decisions made will have financial costs.

Last week, Brazilian media reported that Lula received an official invitation from the US president to join a new Peace Council focused on the Gaza Strip, adding that he had not yet accepted the proposal, which was still under evaluation.

According to G1, diplomats say many questions remain unanswered before the government makes a decision, and Brazil needs to consult with other relevant countries so that any decision can be implemented.

“Exchanging ideas with other relevant countries is the way to build a position on such an important issue,” the source said regarding Trump’s announcement about the Peace Council, which was met with criticism and skepticism by various analysts.
