Demonstrations in Mexico to demand end of bloodshed in Gaza

SANAA, Oct. 07 (YPA) – Thousands of people protested, on Monday, in the streets of Mexico to demand an end to the bloodshed in Gaza on the first anniversary of the war in Gaza.

Protesters marched carrying banners and Palestinian flags, and urged Mexican President, Claudia Sheinbaum, to cut diplomatic and economic ties with the Zionist entity.

The Mexican newspaper El Excellador said that Mexico is one of the countries that requested to join the lawsuit filed by South Africa against Israel regarding the violation of the United Nations Convention to prevent and punish the crime of genocide in 1948.

Mexico’s request to intervene was based on Article 63 of the Court’s Statute, which gives other states the right to intervene for the purpose of making a statement on the interpretation of the agreement.

Mexico indicated its desire to present its point of view bout the interpretation of the provisions of the Convention relevant to the case.
