Argentine President Javier Milei tells Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar that he intends to open Argentina’s new embassy in Jerusalem this spring, Sa’ar’s office says in a statement following a meeting between the officials in Buenos Aires.
The statement says their meeting focused on ways to deepen bilateral relations and expand economic cooperation, adding that Sa’ar encouraged Milei to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization.
Milei — an adamantly pro-Israel Judeophile — wore a kippah during the meeting as Sa’ar recited a blessing congratulating him on his recent victory in Argentina’s parliamentary elections, Sa’ar’s office adds. The president also showed the minister a mezuzah affixed to the entrance of his office.
Argentina’s move would make it the eighth country to relocate its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, after Fiji, the United States, Guatemala, Honduras, Kosovo, Papua New Guinea and Paraguay.
