Israel, Argentina Strengthen Ties as Milei Plans to Open Embassy in Jerusalem, Saar Leads Diplomatic Mission

1 comment

1. SS: Israeli FM Gideon Sa’ar’s high-level mission to Buenos Aires on Nov 26, 2025—trailing Milei’s Israel visit—heralded Argentina’s 2026 embassy relocation to Jerusalem as a “symbolic anchor” for deepened security and economic pacts, including an Israeli economic attaché in BA and joint anti-terror measures designating Hamas/Hezbollah. Amid Milei’s pivot from Peronist isolationism toward Western alliances, this embrace counters Iranian proxy threats (echoing 1990s AMIA attacks) and aligns Buenos Aires with US-backed regional bulwarks like Paraguay’s own Jerusalem embassy move. As Milei’s reforms court FDI amid $20B US debt talks, does this “libertarian-Israeli axis” fortify the Southern Cone against BRICS inroads and Hizbullah networks, or risk overstretch in a hemisphere where great-power patronage remains fickle?
