Argentine President Praises Netanyahu, Cites Israel's Existence to Him
Argentine President Javier Milei offered effusive public praise for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating that without him, Israel might not exist today. Milei, speaking while in New York for the UN General Assembly, described Netanyahu as an "exceptional leader with a geopolitical vision" who understands the "cultural struggle" like few others.
Milei emphasized his belief in the importance of Netanyahu's continued leadership and work. He explicitly stated, "If it weren't for Netanyahu, I have doubts whether Israel would exist today, would continue to exist." The Argentine president warned that a scenario where Israel did not continue to exist would pose a "real danger not only to Israel, but also to Europe and the entire West."
During his remarks, Milei also spoke about his own country, declaring, "Argentina is the new promised land." The comments were made during a period when Prime Minister Netanyahu was scheduled to address the UN General Assembly.
