Sephardi Chief Rabbi David Yosef praises Argentina’s President Javier Milei in Buenos Aires for his bold, historic support of Israel and Jerusalem.
In a deeply symbolic meeting at the Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires, Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi David Yosef, lauded Argentine President Javier Milei for his unwavering support of the Jewish people and the State of Israel — calling him “a president who stands on the right side of history.”
The meeting, attended by Israel’s Ambassador to Argentina Eyal Sela, marked a moment of profound friendship between Jerusalem and Buenos Aires. Rabbi Yosef, currently on an official tour of Argentine Jewish communities, thanked Milei for his courageous stance amid growing global hostility toward Israel. “The entire Jewish people prays for your success,” he said. “Thank you for your steadfast support of the State of Israel and the Jewish people as a whole.”
Milei, often described as Latin America’s most pro-Israel leader in decades, has transformed Argentina into a beacon of moral clarity. Since Hamas’s war against Israel began, Milei has repeatedly affirmed Israel’s right to defend itself against terrorism and has vowed to move Argentina’s embassy to Jerusalem — a historic step echoing the courage of the United States under President Trump.
True to his word, Milei’s first international visit as president was to Israel, where he prayed at the Western Wall, declaring his “eternal solidarity” with the Jewish nation. His recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital earned him admiration from Jewish communities worldwide and the Genesis Prize, honoring his moral leadership and principled diplomacy.
As Rabbi Yosef’s visit concluded, Argentine and Israeli officials underscored the shared values binding both nations: faith, freedom, and truth in the face of terror and denial. Milei’s bold stand, once considered unconventional, is now a symbol of courage in a world too often swayed by political correctness.
