Those who met with Milei include released hostages Yarden Bibas and Karina Engel-Bart, the latter being released during the hostage deal in November 2023.

Argentinian President Javier Milei criticized what he called a “corruption” of Western values, arguing that the global Left has lost its moral compass and was “siding with Hamas.”

Milei reaffirmed Argentina’s “unwavering commitment” to Israel and described the partnership as grounded in shared democratic values.

Milei’s visit offers Israel a rare diplomatic respite—a moment of warmth and alignment in an otherwise chilly international climate.

“What I saw in Judaism,” Milei explained after a visit to the Western Wall last year, “was the constant search for truth and spirituality, an endless journey of growth.”

Milei declared, “My support for Israel comes from the heart, because I believe this is a just cause—the cause of the West. I will always stand by your side.”

Talia Levin recovers from the Shavuot holiday with three rosé wines — two from Argentina and one from Israel.

Movers and shakers in Israeli society.

El Al will begin flying between Argentina and Israel, in both a powerful symbol of the countries' alliance and a practical boon for travelers like Rabbi Axel Wahnish.
