BUENOS AIRES \u2014 President Javier Milei will visit Israel on Sunday for talks with his close ally, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Argentina\u2019s presidency said, as a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took effect.<\/p>\n

This will be the third visit to Israel as leader by the libertarian Milei, an ardent defender of the policies of both Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Milei, who was raised in a Catholic family but studied Jewish scripture, has cheered the US-Israeli strikes on Iran.<\/p>\n

Last month, he called Israel a \u201cstrategic ally\u201d of Argentina with \u201cshared values.\u201d<\/p>\n

He will meet Netanyahu at the Western Wall holy site in Jerusalem, which he also visited in February 2024 and June 2025, his office said.<\/p>\n

Milei\u2019s government recently expelled Tehran\u2019s diplomatic envoy<\/a> after Iran objected to Argentina calling the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s foreign ministry accused Argentina of being \u201cpartners in crimes committed and on the wrong side of history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Argentina, for its part, has lambasted Iran\u2019s \u201cpersistent refusal\u201d to cooperate with the probe into a 1994 bombing in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people and injured more than 300 at a Jewish community center.<\/p>\n

Two years earlier, an explosion at the Israeli embassy killed 29 and wounded 200.<\/p>\n

Argentine courts have blamed both attacks on Iran, which has always denied involvement and refused to hand over suspects.<\/p>\n

Argentina is home to the largest Jewish community in Latin America, composed of nearly 300,000 people living mostly in Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n
