Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro landed in Israel on Sunday, receiving red carpet treatment from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is running for re-election in nine days.

The two right-wing leaders are expected to sign several agreements during Bolsonaro’s first state visit to Israel.

Inking deals

  • Netanyahu said he and Bolsonaro would sign “many agreements,” including security deals.
  • Brazilian state-run oil firm Petrobras was expected to firm up its intention to bid in an Israeli gas exploration tender.
  • A pending decision to shift Brazil’s embassy to Jerusalem may also be broached during Bolsonaro’s first state visit. The move has been opposed by military officers in his cabinet.

    Promised land, enemy land: Israel 70 years after independence

    Long-held hope is victorious

    On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, future first prime minister of Israel, declares the state’s independence, outlining the Jewish story: “The people kept faith with (the land) throughout their dispersion and never ceased to pray and hope for their return to it and for the restoration in it of their political freedom.” It was the birth of an internationally recognized Jewish homeland.

    The darkest hour

    While the controversial idea of a God-given land for Jews has biblical roots, the Holocaust was a close, powerful backdrop for the significance of Israel’s founding. Nazi Germany murdered six million Jews across Europe, and those who survived the concentration camps endured expulsion and forced labor. The above photo shows survivors of the Auschwitz camp following liberation.

    ‘Nakba’: Arabic for ‘catastrophe’

    That is the word that Palestinians and their supporters use to mark Israel’s independence. About 700,000 Arabs living in Palestine at the time fled as waves of Jewish immigrants arrived to settle in the new Jewish state. The birth of Israel was the start of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which remains unresolved 70 years later despite numerous attempts.

    Life on a kibbutz

    These land collectives, known as kibbutzim in the plural, were established across Israel following independence. Many were run by secular or socialist Jews in an effort to realize their vision of society.

    A state at war

    Tensions with its Arab neighbors erupted in the Six-Day War in June 1967. With a surprise attack, Israel is able to swiftly defeat Egypt, Jordan and Syria, bringing the Arab-populated areas of the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights under Israeli control. Victory leads to occupation — and more tension and conflict.

    Settlements on disputed territory

    Israel’s settlement policy worsens the conflict with Palestinians. Due to development and expansion of Jewish areas on occupied Palestinian land, the Palestinian Authority accuses Israel of making a future Palestinian state untenable. Israel has largely ignored the international community’s criticism of its settlement policy, arguing new construction is either legal or necessary for security.

    Anger, hate and stones: The first intifada

    In winter 1987, Palestinians begin mass protests of Israel’s ongoing occupation. Unrest spreads from Gaza to East Jerusalem and the West Bank. The uprising eventually wound down and led to the 1993 Oslo Accords — the first face-to-face agreement between the government of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the representative body of the Palestinian people.

    Peace at last?

    With former US President Bill Clinton as a mediator, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin (left) and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat hold peace talks. The result, the Oslo I Accord, is each side’s recognition of the other. The agreement leads many to hope that an end to the Israel-Palestine conflict is not far off, but peace initiatives suffer a major setback when Rabin is assassinated two years later.

    A void to fill

    A right-wing Jewish fanatic shoots and kills Rabin on November 4, 1995, while he is leaving a peace rally in Tel Aviv. Rabin’s assassination throws the spotlight on Israel’s internal social strife. The divide is growing between centrist and extremist, secular and religious. The photo shows Israel’s then-acting prime minister, Shimon Peres, next to the empty chair of his murdered colleague.

    Addressing the unspeakable

    Nazi Germany’s mass murder of Jews weighs on German-Israeli relations to this day. In February 2000, Germany’s then-President Johannes Rau addresses the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, in German. It is a tremendous emotional challenge for both sides, especially for Holocaust survivors and their descendants, but also a step towards closer relations after unforgettable crimes.

    The Israeli wall

    In 2002, amid the violence and terror of the Second Intifada, Israel starts building a 107-kilometer-long (67-mile-long) barrier of barbed wire, concrete wall and guard towers between itself and Palestinian areas of the West Bank. It suppresses the violence but does not solve the larger political conflict. The wall grows in length over the years and is projected to reach around 700 kilometers.

    A gesture to the dead

    Germany’s current foreign minister, Heiko Maas, steps decisively into an ever closer German-Israeli relationship. His first trip abroad as the country’s top diplomat is to Israel in March 2018. At the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial and museum in Jerusalem, he lays a wreath in memory of Holocaust victims.

Stiff election challenge

“I love Israel,” Bolsonaro said in Hebrew at a welcoming ceremony, with Netanyahu at his side, at Tel Aviv’s Ben-Gurion airport.

Netanyahu’s two chief opponents have joined forces ahead of the country’s April 9 election in a bid to overcome the prime minister’s right-wing Likud party and its allies.

Centrist Benny Gantz, a former military chief, and Yair Lapid, are running on a joint ticket. Netanyahu is also under threat of indictment on corruption allegations.
