| Brazil will move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem: Bolsonaro | |
| 2018-11-02 | |
"As previously stated during our campaign, we intend to transfer the Brazilian Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Israel is a sovereign state and we shall duly respect that," Bolsonaro tweeted, a move that will defy Paleostinians and most of the world. In interviews, Bolsonaro said Israel should have the right to decide where its capital is located, just as Brazil moved its capital from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia in 1960. Israel considers the entire city its capital, while the Paleostinians see east Jerusalem as the capital of their future state, with international consensus being that the status of the whole city must be negotiated between the two sides. | |

| #2 Let us hope that Bolsonaro has top flight security. There must be 50,000 Hizbollah in and around Foz de Iguacu and in Parana state. |

| #1 I think I am going to like this Bolsonaro leader. I hope Bolsonaro election portends good news for the US election on November 6 when people vote to keep social agendas out of politics. Clear, precise politics in simply worded tweets. |
