Nicaragua has cut diplomatic ties with Israel, citing 'genocide' and a 'fascist' government. Vice President Rosario Murillo accused Israel of attacks on Palestinian territories and called the government 'fascist'. Nicaragua's Congress also approved a resolution commemorating the anniversary of the Gaza war. President Daniel Ortega's government has become increasingly isolated in recent years, and the country is a close ally of Iran. In contrast, Mexico's newly inaugurated president, Claudia Sheinbaum, who is Jewish, called for the recognition of a Palestinian state to achieve peace in the Middle East.
