A group of 52 Mexican people, including 47 from Nayarit who were on a tourist trip to Jerusalem, Israel, are stranded waiting for government help to return to Mexico and Nayarit.
He was the well-known lawyer of municipality of Tecuala, Sergio Armando Peralta Herrerawho announced the situation they are experiencing in the last hours after the armed conflict between Hamas and Israel broke out.
“We are a group of 52 tourists who are in Jerusalem, among the group are two priests. Faced with this conflict that takes us by surprise, we ask to be rescued. We are very concerned since it is mentioned that Jerusalem will also be attacked by this conflict. Please forward this message so that it reaches the authorities and they can do something for us,” he stated.
The lawyer traveled with his sister Rosa María since October 1 to carry out this religious tourist trip.
Also, Sergio Peralta Herrera said that They are in a bunker at the Ambassador Hotel, attended by local staff who give them instructions on how to stay safe.
This Saturday, October 7, he was celebrating his birthday at the Mount of Olives, when the alarms rang and the guide helped them leave the place to get to the hotel and take refuge.
He said that so far no authority has been contacted and that they hope to be contacted soon due to the closure of the Tel Aviv airport, so they cannot advance their commercial flight and hope to leave there with the help of the Mexican Foreign Ministry.
This situation is similar to that of the 22 Mexicans from Campeche, who are also trapped in Israel, since they cannot return due to the armed conflict with Hamas.
Meanwhile, the Mexican Foreign Ministry recognized that there are two Mexicans who were deprived of their liberty and, presumably, would be hostages of the terrorist group that operates in Palestine.
