Nicaraguan President Ortega Cuts Ties with Israel, Compares Leaders to Hitler

Daniel Ortega's inflammatory remarks target Israeli and Ukrainian leaders amid growing ties with Russia and support for Palestine.

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has severed diplomatic relations with Israel, accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being a 'son of the devil' and likening him to Hitler.
Ortega's comments were made during a televised speech celebrating the 45th anniversary of Nicaragua's police force, where he also criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Nicaragua's government, under Ortega, has aligned itself closely with Russia, maintaining strong ties since the Cold War and supporting Palestinian statehood.
The Nicaraguan National Assembly urged the break with Israel, denouncing the country as an 'enemy of humanity' and accusing it of genocide against Palestinians.
Ortega's rhetoric reflects his opposition to Western powers, condemning their support for Israel and warning of escalating global conflicts involving NATO.
