The Israeli government had sought to nuance Netanyahu’s tweet after a rebuke from Mexico on Saturday, saying the prime minister was referring to Israel’s specific security experience and not taking a position on US-Mexico relations.
Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray said that explanation was not good enough, and that the Israeli government needed to clarify and “correct” its position. “I think an apology… would be appropriate in this case,” he said, noting that Israel was a “close friend” of Mexico.
