Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Brazil presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro speak by phone and pledge to renew and deepen Israel–Brazil ties if they both win upcoming elections. The call takes place weeks before the elections and is framed by Netanyahu’s office as an effort to “renew the deep friendship” between the two countries.
The outlets also report reciprocal outreach. Netanyahu congratulates Bolsonaro after his performance in Brazil’s first election round, and he invites Bolsonaro to visit Israel. In turn, Bolsonaro extends an invitation to Netanyahu to visit Brazil, according to reports. While the coverage centers on different moments—one focusing on the election-ahead pledge and the other on post–first-round congratulations and travel invitations—the accounts align on the same core points: a phone conversation, pledges tied to the elections, and mutual invitations between Israeli and Brazilian leaders or candidates.
