Brazil leaves Holocaust remembrance alliance

odia.ig.com.br (Portuguese)

Brazil has withdrawn from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). The decision was announced by Israel's Foreign Ministry. The Brazilian government cited concerns that joining the IHRA in 2021 was done carelessly and involved financial obligations. This move follows Brazil's formal entry into South Africa's case at the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide. The IHRA aims to combat antisemitism and promote Holocaust remembrance. Critics argue its definition of antisemitism can be used to stifle criticism of Israel.
