AMIA bombing

Argentina's AMIA building was bombed by terrorists 31 years ago today. The attack and the absence of real justice to this day are still open wounds in Argentina.

Until now, Argentina’s justice system did not allow trials in the absence of the accused in serious criminal cases such as this one.

The Genesis Prize Foundation (GPF) selected Milei earlier this year for what it called his “unequivocal support” of the Jewish state.

AMIA prosecutor Sebastián Basso requested an arrest warrant for Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei over his alleged role in the 1994 Buenos Aires bombing.

Genesis Prize Chairman Stan Polovets praised Milei’s support for Israel, achievements in reforming Argentina’s economy, and pursuit of justice for AMIA terror victims.

This comes six months after Argentinian courts confirmed that Iran and Hezbollah were both behind the 1992 and the 1994 bombings.

"There is a connection between the terrible attack on the Jewish community building in Argentina and what Israel went through on October 7," Yaakov Hagoel said. "They were caused by the same hatred."

As the 30th anniversary of the horrific AMIA bombing in Argentina approaches, this year's remembrance carries even greater weight.

While Israel is actively engaged in holding the October 7 perpetrators accountable, Argentina’s Jewish community and all of society are waiting for answers.
