Mexico tells Israeli ambassador that diplomatic crisis is behind them

The Mexican government relayed a message to Israeli Ambassador to Mexico Yoni Peled, saying that it considers the recent diplomatic tensions between the two countries to be over.

Last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his support for US President Donald Trump's intention to build a wall along the US-Mexican border. "President Trump is right. I built a wall along Israel's southern border. It stopped illegal immigration. Great success. Great idea," read Netanyahu's tweet.

The tweet caused a great deal of criticism to be lobbied against Netanyahu, from Mexican, US and Israeli officials, who decried his insistence on getting involved in the matter. Netanyahu, for his part, insisted that his tweet had nothing to do with Mexico and more to do with strenghtening national security.
