Mexican police used pepper gas to disperse a group of Palestinian supporters protesting outside the Israeli Embassy in Mexico City. The demonstration, dubbed “Urgent Action for Prosperity,” saw hundreds of activists gather to condemn Israel’s intensified attacks on Rafah. Chanting anti-Israel slogans, the protesters called on the Mexican government to sever diplomatic ties with Israel. Clashes erupted when some demonstrators tried to breach the embassy’s barriers, leading to several arrests. Protesters threw stones at the police and painted their hands red in symbolic protest.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed a new prisoner exchange with Russia, marking the first return of severely wounded Ukrainian soldiers held in Russian captivity. He called the operation an “important humanitarian action” and emphasized the need for continued exchanges.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, most of the released soldiers suffer from serious conditions, including limb loss and infections. The exact number of those freed will be disclosed after the process is completed.
Russia’s Defense Ministry also confirmed the exchange, stating that a second group of Russian soldiers had been returned from Ukrainian-controlled areas and are currently receiving treatment in Belarus before being transferred to Russia. The exchange follows an agreement reached in Istanbul on June 2.
