Asked about the conflict in his morning press conference at the National Palace, the president repeated that he is for peace and wondered what is the fault of the Palestinian citizens to suffer this war, one thing are the governments, the movements and another is the people.

He asked to put politics and ideology aside and think of the people, that is our criterion on this unfortunate war or whatever you want to call it, but there are more than 10 thousand dead, among them many children, so what is politics for, isn’t it to avoid wars?

He clarified that Mexico is not going to break off relations with Israel, but we are going to have a position beyond seeking peace, to prevent the war from continuing, to prevent it from spreading, because what is happening is very risky and painful, and the impotence in the face of what is being done.

He insisted that the United Nations has to do something, and that the United States, which has a very good relationship with Israel, should intervene to guarantee a truce, protect civilians and avoid the massacre of everyone that is taking place.

At the same time, he asked not to fall into the law of Talion, of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth and to relax without confrontation because, as I have said many times, if we apply it we will become one-eyed or without eyes. We must achieve peace,” he concluded.
