When Javier Milei won election to the presidency of Argentina in November of 2023, I wrote that he was acting to “move forward enthusiastically in his support of the United States government and the wars of Ukraine and Israel.” Israel, I further noted, “is a nation upon which he has heaped praise and whose new war he supports steadfastly, just as do top US political leaders.”
Milei’s devotion to the Israel government and its US-backed wars has continued in the years since. In video of Milei on Sunday greeting Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during Milei’s third visit to Israel since becoming president of Argentina, Milei exhibited the excitement of a groupie having a chance to meet a favorite singer. Watch here Milei greeting Netanyahu, who Milei declares is his “dearest friend,” “good friend,” and “dear friend”:

The friends fest among national leaders extends to America as well. Declared Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, while standing alongside Milei and Netanyahu at a subsequent event related to Argentina and Israel increasing the ties between the two nations:
It is a distinct honor to be able to stand here with two of President Trump’s greatest friends. I don’t know of any two world leaders on our planet that our president has more respect for and more personal relationship with than President Milei and Prime Minister Netanyahu. So, it’s an honor to represent the president of the United States and to bring greetings from America to these two wonderful friends and allies.
War on Iran is among the top shared priorities of these three besties, confirmed Milei during his latest Israel visit, declaring the Argentina government’s “firm support for the United States and Israel in their war against terrorism and against the Iranian regime.”
