Flavio Bolsonaro, after losing the presidential election to Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, left Brazil on a private plane, and this action was coordinated by the United States and Argentina. The Wall Street Journal reports that the operation involved a small network of Trump allies, senior US officials and Argentine President Javier Melayo. Bolsonaro and his family arrived in Argentina on Tuesday night and then boarded a chartered Gulfstream that traveled through Ecuador to Miami, arriving there on Wednesday morning. President Donald Trump personally granted Bolsonaro's entry into the United States, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio helped coordinate his entry. The family entered Israel as part of a "humanitarian leave" that allows them to stay in Israel for a year.
