    In November 2023, the Mexican Senate passed a resolution calling on the Mexican executive to recognize Palestine and the State of Palestine upgraded the status of its delegation in Mexico from a “Special Delegation” to a full embassy. While Mexico was listed as having recognized Palestine in 2023 in documents circulated by the United Nations, the President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador clarified in May 2024 that Mexico had not yet officially recognized the State of Palestine. In October 2024, Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum stated that a recognition of a Palestinian state was the right move to achieve peace.

    I guess this is why Mexico is light green?
