Geopolitical analyst Alfredo Jalife-Rahme criticized in an interview the stance of political parties in Mexico regarding the conflict between Israel and Palestine. He emphasized the lack of criticism from Morena, the party of which he is a co-founder, and pointed out that both the outgoing and incoming governments have not condemned the genocide in Gaza. Jalife was also critical of the opposition, mentioning Movimiento Ciudadano and PAN, whom he accused of having positions that support Zionism.
In his statements, Jalife highlighted that Zionism predominates in the political class in Mexico, even claiming that the governments of the Fourth Transformation are influenced by this ideological current. He expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of strong criticisms regarding the conflict and indicated that the Mexican population is misinformed about it. Additionally, Jalife emphasized the plan to evacuate Palestine and send Palestinians to Africa as a Zionist strategy backed by the Mexican political ecosystem.
The analyst delved into the confusion of terms related to the conflict, mentioning the variety of interpretations and the emotional burden it entails. He criticized the lack of information and knowledge about the situation in the Middle East among the Mexican population and referred to the struggle for the recognition of the Palestinian State in international instances.
Jalife-Rahme also addressed the issue of forced population transfer in the region, linked to the concept of voluntary or forced transfer. He highlighted the complexity of geopolitics in the area and mentioned the importance of understanding beyond the general narrative about the conflict. The analyst emphasized the need to thoroughly analyze the geopolitical implications and the different positions at play, calling for reflection and understanding of the history and complexity of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
