Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the right-wing candidate and son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, was officially confirmed on Sunday as the Liberal Party's candidate for Brazil's October presidential election, according to reports. At the launch event, a recorded video message from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was screened.
The confirmation comes hours after Bolsonaro's campaign launch event, which was attended by Argentine President Javier Milei and featured a video greeting from Netanyahu, as The Zioneer reported earlier today. Bolsonaro will face incumbent left-wing President Lula da Silva in the election.
Bolsonaro has pledged to return Brazil's ambassador to Israel and relocate the country's embassy to Jerusalem, and has vowed to expand bilateral cooperation. His father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, is currently serving a prison sentence and has urged supporters to vote for his son.
