Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lands in Buenos Aires for a 10-day trip to Argentina, Colombia, Mexico and the US, marking the first time a sitting Israeli prime minister has made an official visit to Latin America.
Speaking to reporters as his Boeing 767 descended upon Buenos Aires, Netanyahu says he intends to discuss Hezbollah’s regional activities with the Latin American heads of states he will meet this week.
“Hezbollah is operating on the continent in various areas, and this will also be on the agenda,” he says.
“These countries have security issues,” and seek Israel’s expertise in these areas, Netanyahu adds.
