In the middle of Israel’s barbaric war against Iran and Lebanon, Argentine President Javier Milei made the third trip of his presidency to Israel, to participate as an honored guest in the country’s 78th Independence Day celebration and announce that “we”—Argentina—are at war with Iran. Many Argentines are outraged that Mieli has allied the country with the U.S. and Israeli war party, ignoring Argentina’s long-held neutral foreign policy stance of maintaining respectful and peaceful relations with all nations. Only the Argentine Congress can vote on a war declaration.
Right after arriving in Jerusalem on April 19, and making an appearance at the Wailing Wall, Milei went to meet with “my dearest Bibi” Netanyahu and then to receive an Honoris Causa doctorate from Bar-Ilan University. He got a standing ovation as soon as he proclaimed, referring to Islam, that “there are certain cultures with which we are not going to be able to coexist, because we defend life and they are going to want to kill us,” Página 12 reported him saying. The audience was ecstatic.
