The official decree did not name a replacement for Meyer. Brazil's charge d'affaires in Israel will head the embassy for an indefinite period.

As Ukrinform reported, in February, Israel declared Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva persona non grata after he compared Israel's war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to the Hocaust.

Flowing this, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva recalled his ambassador to Israel.
