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.
