1. Which country has severed diplomatic ties with Israel due to its actions in Gaza, labelling its government as "fascist and genocidal"?
Nicaragua has cut diplomatic ties with Israel, condemning its actions in Gaza and labelling its government "fascist and genocidal". This move aligns with Nicaragua's leftist stance and follows similar decisions by other Latin American countries. The country previously broke relations with Israel in 1982 and 2010 under President Daniel Ortega's administration. Nicaragua's government expressed solidarity with the Palestinian people and condemned the war's expansion into Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iran, reflecting a consistent stance among leftist governments in the region, emphasizing humanitarian concerns over diplomatic relations.
