Afifi added that since the reign of President Paulsonaro, Brazilian positions have been monitored and studied by the Arab League, and that the intentions announced recently, as well as the statements made during President Paulsonaro's visit to Israel, indicate several progressive decreases in Brazilian attitudes – in the past – on the basis of respect for the principles of international law and the defense of the legitimate rights of Palestinians, which provided a solid basis for strong relations between the Arab world and Brazil.
