Argentina’s President Javier Milei will visit Israel on February 6-9, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
Milei, who was elected last month, has been an outspoken supporter of Israel, and has said he wants to convert to Judaism.
On Friday, Milei said he would come to to Israel in the “coming weeks,” a visit that would “constitute a new chapter in the brotherhood between our two nations.”
Eleven Argentinian citizens are being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza.
