Mexico City. President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo demanded this Thursday morning that Israel immediately release the six Mexicans traveling on the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was intercepted yesterday by Israeli forces while en route to the Gaza Strip to deliver humanitarian aid.
“Humanitarian aid must reach Gaza , and our Mexican brothers and sisters, all of them, but especially our fellow Mexicans, must be repatriated immediately because they did not commit any crime,” the President said during her morning press conference.
Sheinbaum Pardo announced that Mexico has sent four diplomatic notes to Israel in recent days. The first, she explained, “to request physical guarantees for our fellow citizens.”
“The second was the day before yesterday, also in case they were, ahead of us, to request if they were going to be intercepted, and for what reason. The third time was yesterday, when we learned they had been intercepted, to demand the physical and comprehensive safety of our fellow citizens,” she explained.
