In search of answers to the delay in Israel’s authorization for the 34 citizens on Brazil’s list to leave the Gaza Strip, Itamaraty crossed the data of the countries that obtained permission to leave the conflict area with their votes in the resolution proposed by the Jordan — and rejected by the Israelis.
The General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) approved, on October 27, a proposed resolution by Jordan and Arab countries on the conflict. The text called for an “immediate humanitarian truce” in the war.
According to the survey carried out at CNN According to sources in Brazilian diplomacy, there are countries that voted in favor of the resolution (among them, Brazil), but which have already had their nationals allowed to leave.

Are they:
- Azerbaijan,
- Bahrain,
- Belgium,
- Chad,
- Indonesia,
- Jordan,
- Mexico,
- Sri Lanka,
- Switzerland.
A second group of countries that abstained from the vote, that is, voted neither for nor against Israel, also had nationals allowed to leave Gaza.
Are they:
- Germany,
- Australia,
- South Korea,
- Finland,
- Greece,
- Italy,
- Japan,
- UK,
- Netherlands.
A third group — which voted for Israel at the UN and against the Jordanian resolution — was also allowed to leave:
Are they:
- Austria,
- Croatia,
- U.S,
- Hungary,
- Czech republic.
The conclusion of the Brazilian authorities heard by the CNN The survey shows that the thesis that Israel uses political criteria to choose which group of foreigners should leave Gaza is not confirmed in practice.
Therefore, according to these sources, there would not be a direct correlation between the official Brazilian position on the conflict expressed at the UN and the difficulty for Brazilians to leave Gaza.
The real criteria, however, are still not clear to the Brazilian government.
