Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will become Brazil’s next president after a tight election victory

Brazilians have partied into the night as Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva claimed victory in the nation’s run-off election.

Lula secured nearly 51 per cent of the vote in the tight race for office.

He has promised environmental and social reforms as Brazil reals from the depths of the pandemic.

“I will govern for 215 million Brazilians, and not just for those who voted for me.”

Lula added “we are one country, one people, one great nation.”

U.S. President Joe Biden was among the world’s top leaders to congratulate Lula on his election victory.

“I look forward to working together to continue the cooperation between our two countries in the months and years ahead,” Biden said.

Brazil’s far-right incumbent president Jair Bolsonaro, has fallen silent after his election defeat.

The 67-year-old is yet to concede in the election, despite all votes being counted.

He has repeatedly hinted he might not accept defeat. However, his own son thanked Brazilians for their support.

“Thank you to each one of you who helped us rescue patriotism… We will hold our heads high and we will not give up on our Brazil,” he said.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
