Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met today, with Argentinian President Javier Milei
@JMilei on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
The Prime Minister thanked President Milei for his steadfast and unconditional support for the State of Israel, and congratulated him on receiving the "Defender of Israel" award from the Darchei Torah Yeshiva in New York.
The two leaders discussed continued cooperation between their countries and the positive strategic shift for Israel taking place in Latin America, which makes possible the expansion of the "Isaac Accords", led by President Milei, to deepen security and economic cooperation between Israel and the countries of Latin America.
Prime Minister Netanyahu:
President Milei is one of the great leaders of our time. What you have done for the economy of Argentina is masterful, very hard to do, with a lot of political resistance. But you've broken out of the cage, and you are giving freedom to people. It may take time for them to understand it, but I want to tell you: Anybody who understands anything in economics knows that there has never been such a transformation. And as someone who's made a transformation myself, know that's a compliment made from the heart and from the mind.
And second, you stand up for the truth. You don't care. You just speak up for the truth. That's why you support Israel because we share this common heritage of justice and speaking the truth, and no one speaks it better than you.”
Argentinian President Milei:
“Thank you very much my friend.
For me an honor to receive your words, being you one of the greatest leaders of all history of the world.”
