Father in prison, son on the way to the presidency? Brazil's tight race heads to a decision

Brazil's presidential election runoff: a close race between Lula and Flavio Bolsonaro. The latest poll shows a tie of 50% among decided voters. Israel hopes for Lula's defeat, who was declared persona non grata. Flavio pledged to move the embassy to Jerusalem.

Brazilian citizens will vote tomorrow in the second round of the presidential election, in a tight race between incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro. A poll by the Datafolha institute published on Thursday shows 47% for Bolsonaro and 46% for Lula, and among decided voters a tie of 50%. In the first round, Flavio surprised by surpassing Lula. His victory would join a rightward shift in Latin America. Israel hopes for Lula's defeat, who was declared persona non grata after comparing the war in Gaza to the murder of Jews by Hitler. Flavio visited Israel and pledged to move the embassy to Jerusalem. The second and final televised debate will take place tonight. Both camps accuse each other of spreading false information. Jair Bolsonaro is serving a 27-year prison sentence for an attempted coup.
