Argentine President Javier Milei arrived in Israel on Sunday morning for a high-profile visit that underscores deepening ties between Jerusalem and Buenos Aires.
Shortly after landing, Milei visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem, marking the symbolic opening of a visit expected to combine diplomacy, public gestures of support, and historic firsts.
Later Sunday, Milei met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, where the two leaders held talks and signed a series of agreements and memorandums of understanding.
The agreements, dubbed the “Isaac Accords,” are seen as a significant step in expanding cooperation between Israel and Argentina, as part of a broader effort to strengthen ties with Latin American countries.
During the ceremony, Netanyahu warned that tensions with Iran remain high. “This is not over. At any moment, there could be new developments with Iran,” he said, adding that Israel and its allies “stand together against the great threat of Iran.”
Among the key announcements was the launch of a direct flight route between Tel Aviv and Buenos Aires on El Al, expected to begin operating later this year. The new route will significantly reduce travel time between the countries.
In the evening, Milei is set to attend a rehearsal at Mount Herzl for Israel’s Independence Day torch-lighting ceremony. He will light a torch during the dress rehearsal, with the footage expected to be broadcast nationwide after canceling his original plan to remain in Israel for the main Independence Day event.
On Monday, Milei is scheduled to receive an honorary doctorate from Bar-Ilan University and meet with families of hostages who were released from Gaza. Later in the day, he is expected to hold talks with President Isaac Herzog at the President’s Residence.
On Tuesday, Milei is expected to visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem in the afternoon before departing Israel later that night.
Milei’s visit, his third to Israel in as many years, reflects his strong alignment with Israel and the United States, and comes amid growing cooperation between the two countries across diplomatic, economic, and strategic fronts.
