Overview
- Pedro Haces met in his San Lázaro office with Israeli rabbi David Yosef and a group of Mexican businessmen after an initially planned session in the Salón Legisladores was shifted to a private space.
- Haces publicly defended the meeting as routine constituent access in the “house of the people” and denied installing or officially hosting a Mexico–Israel friendship group on behalf of the chamber.
- Morena deputies including María Magdalena Rosales, José Narro and Manuel Vázquez condemned receiving Yosef as tacit endorsement of what they call genocide in Gaza, with Rosales saying security blocked her entry.
- Opponents said they will file a formal reproach before the Junta de Coordinación Política and announced a Mexico–Palestine forum with international-law experts as a counter-position.
- The legitimacy of a reported Nov. 27 installation of the Mexico–Israel friendship group is being challenged over lack of proper convocation, as PRI, PAN and PVEM lawmakers—and Israel’s ambassador—were reported present.
