Demonstrators in Mexico gather outside the United States embassy to call for a halt to the conflict in Gaza
Demonstrators in Mexico have gathered outside the United States embassy in Mexico City to express their support for the Palestinian people and call for an end to what they describe as Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza.
According to reports from the Cuba-based Prensa Latina News Agency, a protest took place on Friday in observance of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
Mexican protesters were seen waving Palestinian flags and vocalizing slogans opposing war during a demonstration.

They urged the United States to cease its support for the Israeli government and to discontinue its practice of vetoing United Nations Security Council resolutions concerning ceasefires in Gaza.
Demonstrators obstructed the thoroughfare approaching the United States Embassy, with several participants lying on the pavement in a symbolic gesture to commemorate Palestinians who have lost their lives in the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
In a decision made in 1977, the United Nations General Assembly declared November 29 as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
