Overflowing foreign policy: Mexico in the face of the Palestinian humanitarian crisis

Abstract

The objective of this article is to explain why the humanitarian crisis that Palestine faces nowadays, due to the Israeli territorial occupation, is linked to Mexico through glocal resistance and foreign policy. To develop this idea descriptive examples are offered to approach Mexico-U.S. binational relationship and consequently both formal and informal agreements that these nations keep with Israel. The topic is treated with a critical perspective on the Mexican government and international organizations to emphasize that different groups and mobilizations have tried to call on the authorities for Mexico to adopt a stronger stance against genocide, beyond framework of action established by United Nations.
