The Mexican Foreign Ministry announced that the country's role as an observer on the U.S.-led Peace Board for Gaza will allow Mexico to contribute to the region's peace efforts. Being an observer means that Mexico will not participate in making decisions within the Board, nor will it take on binding commitments. This approach aims to complement efforts already underway through the United Nations.

Considering the geopolitical dynamics, President Sheinbaum indicated that her administration initially declined an invitation from Trump to participate fully in this mechanism but decided to send Ambassador Héctor Vasconcelos to participate as an observer. This decision reflects Mexico's cautious stance on international diplomacy, focusing on peace efforts while avoiding entanglements that could compromise its foreign policy autonomy.

This move by Mexico highlights the country's commitment to global peace initiatives, despite the complexities surrounding the Gaza conflict. By acting as an observer, Mexico aims to engage in dialogue and contribute to stabilizing the region while respecting its limitations and existing international frameworks, such as the United Nations, where Mexico already plays a significant role in peacekeeping and diplomatic efforts.
