Conservative Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, played a key role in helping Israeli soldier Yuval Vagdani escape persecution by Brazil’s justice system during his vacation in the country, as reported by TGP.
In an interview with the daily Maariv published this Friday, the 10th, Bolsonaro detailed the case and how he assisted Vagdani in leaving the country. The Israeli soldier had been targeted with an arrest warrant issued by a far-left organization founded by militants linked to Hamas.
According to The Jerusalem Post, Bolsonaro contacted sources in Israel shortly after releasing a video exposing the persecution against the soldier. He also launched an online campaign to halt the charges filed against Vagdani.
The congressman stated:
“January is our parliamentary recess, a time I usually spend with my wife and two children. That’s why I recorded the first video defending the Israeli soldier. I decided to launch an online defense campaign spontaneously, but I am familiar with the Hind Rajab Foundation. I recorded a video in Portuguese and English, sharing it on my social media accounts. On Instagram and X, I am @BolsonaroSP, with 13 million followers.”
Bolsonaro further noted that the headquarters of the extremist foundation is in Belgium, operating in Brazil through Lebanese affiliates, primarily tied to Hezbollah.
The congressman revealed that only minutes after posting the video, Israel’s Minister of Diaspora Affairs, Amichai Chikli, who handles the fight against antisemitism, reached out to him.
Following Minister Chikli’s involvement, the campaign to end the investigation against the Israeli soldier gained momentum, and the initiative by Brazil’s justice system was dismissed.
