The Vice President of Nicaragua has announced that the President, Daniel Ortega, has given the order to comply with the request of the National Assembly to break ties with Tel Aviv.
Rosario Murillo indicated that President Daniel Ortega instructed the Chancellery of the Republic to comply with the request of the National Assembly to break diplomatic relations with the Zionist, “fascist and genocidal” entity, which refers to the “policies of extermination against the great, courageous, brave and dignified peoples of Palestine with whom we have always been entwined”.
Meanwhile, on the social network X, the Nicaraguan National Assembly referred to the approval of a declaration of condemnation and absolute rejection of the genocide perpetrated by the Zionist regime.
In statements to the Nicaraguan media, Murillo added that Israel continues to carry out “war crimes”.

Likewise, the Nicaraguan vice-president questioned the role of international peace guarantor organizations. “What is the use then of these so-called international organizations that condemn those who do not subordinate themselves? We do not subordinate ourselves to the imperialists of the earth, and they see the fascism and the intention to exterminate struggling peoples, fighters for justice, for truth, for rights and yet remain unmoved,” she stressed.
“We condemn fascism, we repudiate it, we reject it and we are united with the fighting peoples,” Murillo said.
In this sense, she added that “the President has instructed to proceed with the severance of relations and it is most likely that in the next few hours the decree that guarantees the compliance with this instruction of our Head of State and our parliamentary bodies will be known”, she underlined.
For his part, the president of the National Assembly of that Central American country, Dr. Gustavo Porras, also condemned the Israeli crimes.
On January 23, 2024, Nicaragua requested the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to intervene in the case filed by South Africa against “Israel” for violations of the United Nations Genocide Convention during the war in Gaza.
