Israeli Prime Minister Jair Bolsonaro is scheduled to attend the inauguration on Tuesday (1) in Brasilia. But it will be the beginning of the year in Rio de Janeiro. On Monday (31), in an exclusive interview with Marcelo Lins of Globonews, Benjamin Netanyahu spoke about the Bolsonaro government's call for proposal.
Benjamin Netanyahu dedicated the last day of his visit to Rio de Janeiro to discuss economic partnerships. He had an in camera meeting with the president of the Central Bank of Brazil, Ilan Goldfajn. He also met with Israeli journalists and defended the decision to anticipate the Israeli elections from November to April as part of investigations into corruption and unrest that his government is facing.
In this second also, in an exclusive interview with the Globo network, Netanyahu spoke about the new phase of the relationship between Brazil and Israel.
Benjamin Netanyahu: This is a historical visit. This is the first time that an Israeli prime minister goes to Brazil. It is incredible because we are an independent state for over 70 years. It was time My impression of President Bolsonaro was excellent. Like me, he has the opportunity to forge a true alliance of true fraternity, to use Brazilian economic power and growth potential with Israel, which is the global technological force. This combination can bring wonderful things to the Brazilian people. Water, agriculture, health, transport, cybersecurity. You can choose.
Marcelo Lins: Do you think that there are things achievable in a short time?
Benjamin Netanyahu: I think everything can be done in a short time. I think that they are not finished soon enough, it will become more difficult later. I myself led an economic revolution in Israel. Obviously, I think this same possibility exists for Brazil. I am impressed by the vision and energy of President Bolsonaro and his team. Of course, his friendship for Israel and the Brazilians amaze me.
Netanyahu once again defended the transfer of the Tel Aviv embbadies to Jerusalem, as did the United States and Guatemala, and as promised, President-elect Jair Bolsonaro. He said he was opposed to the idea that East Jerusalem would become the capital of a future Palestinian state.
Marcelo Lins: Do you think it's viable?
Benjamin Netanyahu: I will tell you what my vision is. My vision is based on history. Jerusalem was established as the capital of the people of Israel 3000 years ago. In the time of King David. It's our capital since, even after our exile. Now we come back and it is the seat of our government, the seat of my office, the presidency, our parliament and our Supreme Court. It can not be anywhere else. When President Trump declared that Jerusalem was the capital of Israel, he recognized the weight of our ancient history and our current history. When President Bolsonaro did that, he recognized the same thing. Recognizing reality is the only way to achieve peace.
Marcelo Lins: So, in your opinion, is it out of the question that Jerusalem is also the capital of a future Palestinian state?
Benjamin Netanyahu: I think that Jerusalem should be the capital of the Israeli state.
Netanyahu also spoke about the delicate moment of politics in Israel and the elections that will take place in April.
Benjamin Netanyahu: I am confident to submit to the judgment of the Israeli people. We live in a democracy and they decide who will lead them. I led Israel from an economic revolution and a security revolution. The combination of these two things is creating, in many countries, a diplomatic revolution. I am delighted with the friendship between President Bolsonaro and the Brazilian people. I am delighted with an alliance that will create great opportunities for our countries. And I am convinced that the truth, once presented to the Israelis, will make them decide. But I'm sure of it. I always say that it depends on the voters. That's the truth.
