In Israel, hoping for a turnaround: Brazil will decide today - Lula or Bolsonaro Jr.

Brazil will decide today in the second round of presidential elections between Lula and Flavio Bolsonaro. The latest polls show a tight race with a slight advantage for Bolsonaro. In Israel, they hope for Bolsonaro's victory, who pledged to move the embassy to Jerusalem, while Lula was declared persona non grata.

Brazilian citizens went to the polls today (Sunday) in the second round of the presidential elections, in a tight race between President Lula da Silva and Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro. The latest polls show a slight advantage for Bolsonaro, with 51% versus 49% for Lula, a gap within the statistical margin of error. The elections will decide whether Brazil remains under left-wing control or joins the right-wing wave on the continent. In Israel, they hope for a turnaround, as Lula was declared persona non grata after comparing the war in Gaza to the murder of Jews by Hitler, while Flavio pledged to move the Brazilian embassy to Jerusalem. The campaign also played out in the courts, with each candidate seeking to disqualify their rival on grounds of misuse of social networks. The shadow of Jair Bolsonaro, convicted of conspiracy to commit a coup and sentenced to 27 years in prison, looms over the elections.
