President-elect Jair Bolsonaro said in an interview with Pastor Silas Daniel that there were threats of economic boycott of Brazil if the government decided to transfer the Israeli embbady from the country to Jerusalem. Bolsonaro also said that he was evaluating the "best way" to solve the problem.
The interview was granted on December 11 and was published on Saturday (29) on Twitter by the president-elect.
The change of the Tel Aviv Embbady in Jerusalem was defended by Bolsonaro during the campaign and after his election.
The gesture, which recognizes Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, is controversial. Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as the capital of their future state. The international community, for its part, does not recognize Israel's claim to Jerusalem as an indivisible capital. Understand the stalemate.
In November, following statements by Bolsonaro on the change of embbady, representatives of international politics claimed that Arab countries, major meat importers in Brazil, could retaliate against the country if the measure was applied.
"I talked to the ambbadador of Israel, I spoke to Ernesto Araújo [futuro ministro das Relações Internacionais] Some countries really threaten to boycott our economy if that [mudança da embaixada] materializes , and we discuss the best way to resolve this issue, "Bolsonaro said in the interview.
The elected president also said that every country has the right to define its own capital. He also said that he had nothing against the Palestinian people.
"Your state decides who will be the capital of your country, it is not me," he said. "We have nothing against the Palestinian people, we have against the government, if I can talk about government, because this is not a country, we want to respect the autonomy of all countries, the Arabs, not the Arabs, everyone … Bolsonaro.
Brazil has recognized the Palestinian state as a country since December 2010, after sending a letter from President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to the President of the Palestinian National Authority, Mahmoud Abbas
The United Nations has also recognized Palestine as an "Observer State" after its approval by the General Assembly in 2012, whose capital East Jerusalem Palestinians want to establish themselves as a sovereign state occupying the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.The territories were occupied by Israel after the Six Day War in 1967.
the interview, the elected president also said that although the Brazilian state is secular, it will base its decisions on Christian values. Bolsonaro said his government would end, through the Ministry of Education, to what he called a gender ideology in schools.
"The state is a layman, but I am a Christian, I will not deny it, many will be voted according to my principles, my values, the question, for example, of the ideology of gender. This story goes through the Ministry of Education, where the school is a place where a child can be educated, not be indoctrinated or stimulated early to have bad, "said Bolsonaro.
