Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum Reaffirms Strong Support for Palestine
May 12, 2026
President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the country’s first female leader, has officially reaffirmed Mexico’s recognition of the State of Palestine, marking a historic shift in foreign policy. In a move that has sent shockwaves through the diplomatic world, her administration has welcomed a full Palestinian Ambassador, Nadya Rasheed, for the first time, moving far beyond simple diplomatic representation.
s the first Mexican president of Jewish heritage, Sheinbaum has been incredibly clear: “No reason justifies the murder of Palestinian civilians.” She is proving that your background doesn’t dictate your politics, your conscience does.
Sheinbaum hasn’t minced words, consistently describing the attacks on Gaza as genocide and calling for a two-state solution where Palestine is recognized in its entirety.
BRAVO MEXICO! LEADERSHIP WITH CONSCIENCE. 🇲🇽

English Script:
Claudi Shenbaum Pardo: First we have always spoken out against the genocide in Gaza. Second, we are the government of Mexico that for the first time, recognised an ambassador or rather, the first ambassador of Palestine in Mexico. Not merely a diplomatic representative but an ambassador as such. And we have always believed that every support should be given so that Palestine is recognised fully as a country, as a state. And that, as our Constitution says, its right to self-determination must be recognised as a state. And that peace should be built. That has always been our position, and we defend it
