At the beginning of the afternoon, Benjamin Netanyahu will have his first meeting with Bolsonaro during his visit to Brazil. The Israeli head of state and the president-elect will meet at Fort Copacabana. Future ministers Ernesto Araújo (Foreign Affairs) and Fernando Azevedo (Defense) will attend the meeting.

The Prime Minister closes the agenda this Friday by participating in an event to be held in the Beit Yaakov synagogue, in the capital of Rio de Janeiro. On Saturday (29), it will only have a private agenda in Rio de Janeiro.

In the last days, there were doubts as to whether Netanyahu would participate in the solemnity of Israel's possession.

Since being elected president, Bolsonaro has begun to repeat a rapprochement with Israel, the historical ally of the United States.
