Mexico City – On Monday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum described Israel’s siege in the Gaza Strip as “genocide ,, pointing to a decisive change in its government’s attitude towards conflict and contradicted the US.

Speaking with journalists at the Daily News Conference, Sheinbaum said that Mexico stops “with the international community to stop this genocide in Gaza”.

“I can only watch the images of Israel’s Gaza bombing with horror,” he wrote. “Nothing justifies the murder of Palestinian civilians. Nothing, nothing, nothing, can justify the murder of a child.”

The last conflict began in 2023 after Hamas fighters passed through a border fence surrounding Gaza and killing more than 1000 Israelis, most of whom were civilians.

Israel responded to Gaza with a punishing attack from air, land and sea, changed almost all of the lane 2 million people and damaged or destroyed 90% of the houses.

Since he took office last year, Sheinbaum has repeatedly called a ceasefire and reiterated Mexico’s support for a two -state solution in the region, but he refrained from categorizing the emergence of Gaza as a genocide in Gaza until Monday.
