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.
In the meeting, the two discussed the launch of a joint business delegation, moving the Argentinian Embassy to Jerusalem, and Argentina declaring Hamas as a terrorist organization.
Hamas called on Milei to “rescind this unjust and wrong decision, which places Argentina as a partner to the Zionist occupier.”
Milei’s schedule includes visiting the president at his official residence and being accompanied by him to Yad Vashem on Wednesday, as well as to Kibbutz Nir Oz, near the Gaza border.
The Argentinian president announced his intention to have his country recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization.
Argentina’s recently elected president, Javier Milei has been very vocal in his condemnation of Hamas and his support for Israel in the current war.
Yair and Eitan are being held hostage in Gaza since the morning of October 7.
"In the coming weeks I will be traveling to the Holy Land in what will constitute a new chapter in the brotherhood between our two nations," said Milei.
