NNA - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Wednesday rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to take over the Gaza Strip, and dismissed his expansionist ambitions and tariff threats against trading partners as "bravado".

"No country, no matter how important, can fight the entire world all the time," the Brazilian leader said in an interview with local radio stations when asked about Trump.

Trump on Tuesday proposed a U.S. takeover of Gaza to create a "Riviera of the Middle East" after resettling Palestinians elsewhere, sparking criticism from international powers.

"It makes no sense ... Where would Palestinians live? This is something incomprehensible to any human being," Lula said, defending a two-state solution and repeating earlier denunciations of Israel's military action in Gaza as "genocide".

 "Palestinians are the ones who need to take care of Gaza," he added.  -- Reuters
