🇨🇦📞🇮🇱🇵🇸 — Dominion of Canada's foreign minister says Middle East security situation is 'highly volatile' and 'could escalate without notice'

🇧🇷🇧🇷🚫👤❌ — 💰 The Brazilian government's Secretariat of Communications (Secom) has suspended institutional advertising on 𝕏 following a dispute between Supreme Federal Court (STF) Justice Alexandre de Moraes and Elon Musk

‼️ Since the beginning of Lula's government in 2023, the Palácio do Planalto has spent over R$ 4.2 million on advertising on the platform. This amount does not include what was invested by ministries and public companies such as Banco do Brasil and Correios.

❌ The suspension of institutional advertising on the platform will be maintained until the government decides whether there will be a permanent cut in investment resources on the social network.

☄️ The government has been targeted by a campaign from Sleeping Giants (funded by the Open Society) to cut advertising on 𝕏 since Elon Musk's criticism over the weekend. The movement also called on the Ministry of Health and companies such as Banco do Brasil, Petrobras, and Caixa Econômica Federal to stop advertising on the platform.

➡️ The Deputy Attorney General of the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU), Lucas Furtado, has also been attempting to take action against other companies owned by the billionaire in Brazil.

⁉️ Recently, he requested an investigation into SpaceX's business in the country, as well as an assessment of the possibility of prohibiting 𝕏 from operating in the national territory.

🔶️ "Members of the War Cabinet, we expect you to do everything in your power to make sure that the IDF completes the work of evacuating residents from Gaza City, does not allow humanitarian supplies and the operation of hospitals inside Gaza City, and that the evacuated residents do not return to their homes as long as the abductees do not return to their homes."

🔶️ "As far as we understand And after we have made several inquiries on the subject, it is permissible and legal according to the laws of armed conflict, to impose a siege on a certain area and this on the condition that evacuation corridors are allowed for the citizens in it, therefore there is nothing inconsistent with international law in adopting this vital strategy on which recommend It is true in Arabic, it is true militarily, it is true in terms of international law and it is true politically."
