Netanyahu Brands Milei Lubavitcher, Boots Israel-Latin America Ties
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed Argentine President Javier Milei on his third visit to Israel and told him he is now part of the “mishpacha” because he is a Lubavitcher. The two leaders announced the Isaac Accords to deepen Israel–Latin America ties, with memorandums on counterterrorism and AI, a $150 million Israeli credit line for Argentina, and direct El Al flights launching in 2026. Milei prayed at the Kosel and the Rebbe’s Ohel, expressing gratitude, while Netanyahu highlighted ongoing efforts to counter Iran’s threats and suggested Milei’s visits precede major regional developments. U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee attended the signing and praised the leaders as allies of President Trump.}
