Israel–Mexico relations
bilateral relations between Mexico and Israel
The nations of Israel and Mexico established diplomatic relations in 1952. Both nations are members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the United Nations and the World Trade Organization.
History
During the Partition of Palestine in November 1947, Mexico was one of ten countries to abstain from voting on the partition. Mexico recognized Israel in 1949 and both nations established formal diplomatic relations on 1 July 1952. Both nations have opened embassies in each other's countries, with Mexico opening its embassy in Tel Aviv in 1959. That same year, Israeli foreign minister Golda Meir paid a visit to Mexico.
In 1975, Mexican president Luis Echeverría paid a state visit to Israel. This was in part due to a desire to amend relations after the passing of UN Resolution 3379 pushed by the Non-Aligned Movement, along with Arab countries and the Soviet bloc, which was a declarative nonbinding measure equating Zionism with South Africa's Apartheid and a form of racial discrimination. This process was a manifestation of Cold War bipolar logic. The bloc voting produced a majority in the United Nations that systematically condemned Israel in the following resolutions: 3089, 3210, 3236, 32/40 and others.

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
