BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Argentina’s libertarian President Javier Milei says he will travel to Israel in the “coming weeks,” one of his first overseas trips since the economist took office last month after pledging strong support for Israel during his campaign.
Milei is speaking during a Holocaust remembrance event in Buenos Aires, where he signals support for Israel in its ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza, adding that Argentina will “not remain silent in the face of Hamas terror.”
