During the chaos, unverified reports indicated that several people were injured as the crowd tried to break through the barriers.

This riot followed Mexico's filing of a statement of intervention in support of South Africa's case against Israel for “genocide” at the Hague-based International Court of Justice (ICJ). The ICJ had recently ruled in a 13-2 decision that Israel must immediately cease its military activities in the Rafah governorate to prevent harmful conditions for the Palestinian population.

In response, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant confirmed that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) would persist in its operation in Rafah to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas and dismantle the Palestinian terrorist group . In particular, Israeli authorities emphasized that their military campaigns in the region align with the ICJ ruling.

The incident at the Israeli embassy in Mexico City underscored the deep impact of the conflict in Gaza, prompting concerns and reactions from the local and international communities.
