Marwan Jebril Burini, the newly appointed Palestinian ambassador to Brazil, expressed his hopes to rely on the Brazilian government for support in navigating complex diplomatic challenges facing Palestine. A key issue includes its participation in the upcoming US-proposed Peace Council, which aims to address the future of the Gaza Strip. The council's first meeting is scheduled in Washington, but the Palestinian leadership has raised concerns as it does not include high-ranking Palestinian representatives, reflecting the ongoing issues of exclusion in international negotiations.

Ambassador Burini emphasized Brazil's critical role in advocating for Palestine within the Peace Council, pointing out that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva had previously discussed the situation with former US President Donald Trump. Burini highlighted the significance of addressing the absence of Palestinian voices at important discussions, echoing Lula's stance that Palestinians need a seat at the table to resolve their issues effectively. By calling attention to their exclusion, Burini advocates for a more equitable approach to peace negotiations in the region.

Currently, Palestinian officials in Ramallah are approaching the establishment of the Peace Council with caution, particularly due to the involvement of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, whom Burini referred to as a "war criminal". This statement illustrates the deep-seated tensions and skepticism surrounding Israel's involvement in peace processes, further complicating the prospects for a collaborative and just resolution for Palestinians.
