The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Juan Ramón de la Fuente, met with the president of the Líbanes Center, Daniel Karam and with Elías Achar Levy, president of the Central Committee of the Jewish Community in Mexico, to congratulate them on the joint statement signed in favor of peace on the border between Lebanon and Israel.
“The Government of Mexico, through the SRE, celebrates the joint call for peace that the Mexican Lebanese and Jewish communities have made for the knowledge of public opinion, given the painful and dangerous situation that exists in the Middle East to the detriment of thousands of innocent lives,” the SRE stated.

During the meeting, Achar Levy, president of the Central Committee of the Jewish Community in Mexico, highlighted the spirit of the event: “the Jewish community of Mexico longs for peace in the Middle East. May peace come soon, may there be no more victims,” he expressed.
In turn, Daniel Karam, president of the Líbanes Center, said: “we are very hopeful that this initiative, unprecedented in the world, will have an echo and that it can be replicated in others in the probe and that it will achieve what we are saying in the statement, peace immediately in Lebanon and Israel,” he commented.
Through social networks, the Mexican Foreign Ministry highlighted that our country is also the home of both communities, which is why the pacifist vocation is expressed in the statement that the group signed.
Meanwhile, Mexico considered that the ceasefire and the beginning of political negotiations between the countries involved is the only serious and lasting path to peace in the Middle East.
“Unpublished and exceptional expressions such as unity, from voices of the Jewish and Lebanese communities, clearly reveal that harmony and civility are feasible in this great purpose, and for this reason Mexico accompanies and supports them,” highlighted the SRE.
