Newly-sworn in Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro reaffirmed plan of relocating the country’s embassy in the so-called ‘capital’ of the “Israeli”-occupied holy city of al-Quds.

“The decision is taken, it’s only a matter of when it will be implemented,” Bolsonaro said late Thursday during an interview with Brazil’s SBT Television, confirming a reported statement by the Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu, who attended Bolsonaro’s inauguration ceremonies on January 1st.

“A large part of the Arab world is aligned or aligning itself with the United States,” Bolsonaro claimed, who has widely been referred to as “Trump of the Tropics” due to his radical approaches similar to US President Donald Trump.

“The Palestinian issue is already overloading people in the Arab world for the most part.”

Bolsonaro further underlined that he did not think that most Arab countries would take retaliatory measures against Brasilia, noting, however, that “more radical” Arab nations “might adopt some sort of sanction — I hope only economic ones — against us.”

He, however, did not elaborate in his pointed remarks which Arab countries he was referring to as “more radical.”

Bolsonaro had backtracked on the embassy move soon after declaring in early November that he intended to go through with it.

In an apparent response to fears of the farming businesses in the agriculturally-rich country that an embassy move may threaten their $1 billion in meat exports to Arab markets, the newly-elected leader rowed back his pledge within days, insisting: “it is not yet decided.”
