Mexico rejects Trump’s Board of Peace invite
Mexico rejects BoP membership due to Palestine’s exclusion but may send a UN ambassador as observer, stressing the need for both Israel and Palestine to participate.
- On Tuesday, February 17, 2026, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Mexico declined Donald Trump's invitation to join the Board of Peace and communicated this decision to the United States.
- Because the process excludes Palestine, Mexico turned down the offer since it recognizes Palestine as a state and Sheinbaum stressed both Israel and Palestine's participation is important.
- The inaugural meeting in Washington, D.C., will include Israel and countries such as Argentina, Hungary, Indonesia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates.
- Attending only in observer capacity, Mexico's ambassador to the United Nations will probably go, Sheinbaum said.
- The White House positioned the BoP as essential to fulfilling all 20 points of Trump's Gaza plan, while Marcelo Ebrard announced deepening economic ties with Canada after meeting Dominic LeBlanc on Monday.
