Mexico to Israel: We expect clarification, rectification over wall remark
‘Mexico has demanded that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologize for praising US President Donald Trump’s plans to construct a wall along the border.
“We are expecting a clarification, a rectification. I think that an apology would be something appropriate in this case,” said Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray on Monday.
On his official Twitter account on Saturday, Netanyahu said that a similar barrier built by Tel Aviv along the Egyptian border “stopped all illegal immigration. Great success. Great idea.”
Videgaray added that his country rejects Netanyahu’s remarks and hopes that Israeli correct its stance on the subject, and that Tel Aviv’s explanation for the remarks was not acceptable.’
