Milei Visits Israel, Backs Anti-Iran Stance, Signs Agreements

Argentine President Javier Milei arrived in Tel Aviv on Sunday for his third official visit to Israel, where he reaffirmed his country's support for the United States and Israel in their military campaign against Iran and signed agreements to strengthen bilateral ties.

Milei, who has positioned Argentina as a close ally to Israel, described the joint actions against Iran as the right course during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. "We expressed our firm support for the United States and Israel in their war against terrorism and against the Iranian regime, not only because it is the right thing to do, but because our countries are brothers in suffering," Milei said in a joint statement. He linked this stance to Argentina's history of attacks attributed to Iran, including the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people and injured more than 300, and the 1992 explosion at the Israeli embassy that killed 29 and wounded 200. Argentine courts have held Iran responsible for both incidents, though Tehran has denied involvement and declined to extradite suspects.
