Palestinian factions praise Nicaragua's decision to cut ties with Israel

Palestinian factions have praised Nicaragua’s decision to sever diplomatic relations with Israel.

Hamas called the move “a courageous step towards isolating this fascist entity, criminalising its behaviour, and exposing its widespread violations of international laws and humanitarian norms.”

Similarly, the Islamic Jihad Movement hailed Nicaragua's action, attributing it to Israel’s massacres against the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine also applauded the decision, viewing it as a welcome step towards Israel becoming internationally isolated.
