Brazilian President Lula da Silva will not participate in the summit on the “Zelensky peace formula”, which will be held in Switzerland.

Sources tell CNN Brazil that a delegation from Brazil will attend the summit, but it will not be led by the president. The head of the delegation has also not yet been determined.

President Lula says in private conversations that there is no point in participating in a summit where the other party to the conflict, Russia, will be absent.

“Brazilian diplomacy has always insisted on the need for peace talks, but sees no point in a meeting that does not include the Russians,” the article says.

As expected, the American Congress approved a bill a short time ago that aims to prevent the Biden administration from delaying arms shipments to Israel.

The proposal was approved by a majority of 224 supporters against 187 opponents. Despite explicit instructions from the White House, 16 members of the Democratic Party (headed by Biden) violated them and voted along with the Republicans in favor of the bill.


President Biden threatened earlier this week to impose a presidential veto on the proposal if it is approved.

Explosive drones attack in the north: over 50 alarms, interceptions in Nah.ariya

Over 50 alarms were activated in the early morning hours in a series of settlements in the Western Galilee, after a suicide drone attack by Hezbollah
• One drone was intercepted, another exploded in the Ga’aton area.

Re: World News! Events Happening Around The World by HolinessForever: 8:47am On May 17
The alarms in the Nahariya area:
Hezbollah takes responsibility for launching a number of drones and claims that they were aimed at the headquarters of the 411th Artillery Battalion in Ga’aton.

There were no casualties in the incident and no damage was caused.


In the last month, Hezbollah has been carrying out higher-quality attacks, to more distant targets, with a more advanced military weapon. Hezbollah is showing increasing boldness against Israel.


Firing dozens of rockets at Mount Meron has already become a normalized routine here,
But in the last week, Hezbollah continued to use advanced Iranian anti-tank missiles (Almas) and fire them one after the other (in an incident in Adamit where a civilian was killed),
Hezbollah used an attack drone (armed with a missile rather than just explosive) for the first time in an attack on the "Sky Dew" system, and this morning sent drones again to the Ga’aton area.

All these areas are not evacuated.
Hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens came into the firing range this week.
