Palestine says Nicaragua's move to cut ties with Israel should be a model for others

The Palestinian foreign ministry has praised Nicaragua’s decision to sever diplomatic relations with Israel, citing the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

“The ministry views this as a reflection of Nicaragua’s high level of responsibility as a member of the international community, taking concrete steps to halt the aggression against the Palestinian people and others in the region, while upholding their right to freedom, security, dignity and peace,” the statement read.

It added that the ministry hoped Nicaragua’s decision would serve as a model for other friendly nations, encouraging similar actions to hold Israel accountable for its actions, and to counter the impunity that has allowed the war to escalate to unprecedented levels.
