“Political Irresponsibility”: Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos Questions Leaders Who Break Ties With Israel Without Consulting Their People
Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico - September 25, 2025
Through politically charged remarks, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos directed sharp criticism at presidents who have decided to cut or weaken relations with the State of Israel without, according to his argument, having the support of the people they represent.
The statement, delivered on September 25, 2025, introduces a central theme in his argument: the democratic legitimacy of foreign policy decisions and their consequences at the international level.
Criticism of European Policy and Its Implications
Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos directed his criticism particularly at recent decisions adopted in Europe, questioning the stance of countries such as France, England, and Spain regarding the conflict in the Middle East.
In that regard, he stated: “A tremendous divine judgment will fall upon France, England, Spain, and all those countries that have risen and are rising up against Israel!” noting that certain measures —such as restrictions on military support or the push for a Palestinian state— would have negative consequences for those nations.
His stance holds that these decisions, far from being neutral, end up indirectly favoring hostile actors against Israel, altering regional equilibrium.
A Defined Outcome: Israel as a Permanent Actor
Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos was also categorical in referring to the outcome of the conflict, arguing that the permanence of Israel is not up for discussion.
In his words: “Whether they like it or not, Israel is the firstborn of God! And with them or without them, Israel will always win!” reiterating a narrative that positions the Israeli state as a structural and immovable actor.
He further added: “Israel will never be destroyed! But Hamas will be destroyed!” establishing a clear contrast between the continuity of Israel and the fate of its adversaries.
Questioning of Latin American Leaders
One of the most sensitive points of the message was directed at Latin America. Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos expressed concern over decisions adopted by some governments in the region that imply a distancing from Israel.
In that context, he stated: “That president who speaks up and says: ‘I’m going to cut ties with Israel.’ Did you ask the people? If you didn’t ask the people, you are irresponsible! Because you were elected by the people,” questioning the lack of consultation and representation in this type of decision.
His perspective brings the issue into the domestic political sphere, linking foreign policy with the democratic legitimacy of governments.
A Message to the People
Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos underscored that, in his view, these decisions do not necessarily reflect the sentiment of the population, particularly of sectors that maintain a favorable stance toward Israel.
On that particular point, he highlighted the importance of considering public opinion before adopting measures that may have consequences at the international level.
Closing: Between Warning and a Call to Prudence
The message concluded with a call to prevent nations from facing consequences stemming from misguided governmental decisions.
In that regard, he stated: “Whoever blesses you will be blessed, and whoever curses you will be cursed,” reiterating his view on the relationship between international stance and future outcomes.
With this latest statement, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos deepens an approach that combines political criticism, international analysis, and narrative construction, positioning himself as an active voice in the debate over the Middle East and the role of Latin America in that debate.
In a global context of strategic decisions, his message aims to establish a clear idea: foreign policy decisions not only impact diplomacy, but also the stability and course of nations.
