In February 2024, on his first international trip as president, Milei visited Israel in a show of wartime solidarity and reiterated his pledge to move Argentina’s embassy to Jerusalem.

Milei’s pro-Israel tenure has become a defining feature of his time in office.

'I have prioritized our bond with Israel, elevating it to an unprecedented level,' wrote Argentinian President Javier Milei in a letter read out at the event.

'I want to let Israel know that you have in me an unwavering ally who will be with you in the trenches,' the Argentinian president declared.

At Gerardo Werthein's inauguration, President Javier Milei referenced the weekly Torah portion, suggesting it's a divine sign to follow Abraham's lead.

Milei calls out UN for consistently voting against 'the only democracy in the Middle East' while showing 'a total inability to respond to the scourge of terrorism.'

He also said that his government would beef up the national intelligence system to prevent similar attacks.

'Argentina must once again align itself with Western civilization,' said Milei’s office.

Javier Milei, a devout individual, found solace in prayer at the Western Wall, pouring his hopes and concerns into the sacred space.

President Milei is staunchly pro-Israel and announced he would move Argentina's embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing it as the capital of Israel. 

Milei has repeatedly pledged to move the Argentine embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

The two developed a close relationship, studying Torah and other Jewish texts together.

'I don’t go to church. I go to synagogue, I don’t follow a priest, I follow my rabbi, I learn Torah, I’m known internationally as a friend of Israel.'
