Argentina is a country in South America and the eighth largest country in the world. Its capital city is Buenos Aires.
A major non-NATO ally, Argentina remains a regional power in geopolitical affairs. It also has a historic territorial dispute with the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands, which it refers to as Islas Malvinas.
Its current president is Javier Milei.

"The Office of the President thanks the Israeli Defense Forces, the Shabak and the Israeli Police for having successfully completed the rescue of the Argentines Fernando Simon Marman and Louis Har."
Milei, a maverick right-wing libertarian, in the past called Francis an "imbecile," a "son-of-a-bitch preaching communism" and the devil's man on earth.
Milei regularly studies Torah and has shown a close connection with the Chabad movement.
"We continue to reaffirm our solidarity towards the State of Israel and our support for Israel's right to Israel's right to legitimate self-defense," President Milei stated.
