Brazil is trying to avoid the veto of the United States and Russia to get its proposed resolution for the Israel-Hamas war approved in the UN Security Council. The country holds the presidency of the body.
Experienced diplomats who follow the negotiations explain that the two countries are the most resistant and both have veto power.
Russia insists on tougher language towards Israel, which is unacceptable to the Americans.

“For the Russians, it is a way of exposing the Americans, who always insist on harsh condemnations of the invasion of Ukraine,” explained a Brazilian diplomat to CNN .
For Americans, the comparison is unreasonable since Israel is reacting to a terrorist attack by attacking Gaza.
Diplomats know that the mission of finding a consensus is very difficult, but they try to find a more “watered down” version of the text, but one that is “possible”.
The Brazilian proposal calls for the release of Israeli hostages and humanitarian pauses so that aid can reach Gaza.
The Brazilian proposal, which should be considered this Tuesday (17) in the Security Council, needs nine of the 15 votes to be approved and cannot have any veto from the five permanent members, which includes the United States and Russia.
