Brazil is a special case in Latin America. About 31% of the population is Evangelical, with a strong sense of support for Israel. Brazil also has roughly 15 million Arabs, but they tend to be of Christian descent, often Lebanese, who bear little or no animus towards Israel.
Simultaneously, Brazil has a low percentage of Jews in the population. So, Brazil would be inclined to help Israel.
