Mexico: Plot to Attack Israeli Embassy/Ambassador Thwarted

Mexican and US sources are announcing that earlier this year, Mexico thwarted a plot to assassinate Israel’s ambassador, Einat Kranz-Neiger, on Mexican soil. Both the US and Mexico are accusing  Iran of being behind the plot. Specific details apparently have not been disclosed at this time.

The government of Israel expressed its profound gratitude to the security and intelligence agencies of Mexico for having neutralized an alleged terrorist plan directed by Iran, whose objective was to attack the Israeli ambassador on Mexican territory.

Through a press release, the Israeli mission in the country pointed out the coordinated work of the Mexican agencies who, through a joint operation, succeeded in thwarting the intentions of the attack, avoiding an attack they classified as part of an Iranian global strategy against Israeli targets and Jews.

“The state of Israel will continue working tirelessly and in close cooperation with its counterparts all over the world to frustrate the terrorist threats of Iran and its emissaries.”

The statement recalled that Teheran has publicly reiterated its purpose of eliminating the state of Israel, with statements from its leaders that incite violence and destruction.

It also mentioned that terrorist actions linked to Iran have a long history in Latin America.

Among them, the 1992 attacks against the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, which left 29 dead and more than 240 injured, and the 1994 attack against AMIA, the headquarters of the Argentine Jewish community, in which 85 people died.

Israel vs. Iran

In the current context, two opposing paths are evident. On the one hand, Israel is maintaining a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, with the objective of promoting a new reality of stability and peace in the Middle East, backed by various countries of the region, among them, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and Qatar.

On the other hand, Iran continues to pursue actions of destabilization, both directly and through its allied groups, threatening regional and global security. 

Terrorist threats

This case is not insignificant for Mexico in that planning an attack against the ambassador of Israel in our country shows that threats of international terrorism are not foreign to the region. They are much closer than many believe.

The fact that Mexican authorities have intervened in time not only avoids a tragedy but also makes it clear that Mexico has the capacity and the will to act when it comes to protecting diplomatic security.

In Latin America, the Jewish communities and the Israeli embassies continue to be possible targets of attacks like those that already occurred in Buenos Aires in the 1990s.
