This marks Milei's first visit to Israel since declaring his intention to move the embassy to Jerusalem, a pro-Israel stance that sets a precedent for an Argentine president.

Milei has announced plans to visit the Western Wall upon his arrival, where he will also sign his visit in the site's guestbook on Friday. He is scheduled to meet with President Isaac Herzog and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his stay.
Additionally, Milei intends to meet with the families of the hostages and visit the Gaza envelope region. True to his campaign promise, this trip fulfills Milei's commitment to make Israel his first official foreign visit.

Axel Wahnish played a crucial role in bringing Milei closer to Judaism and was an honored guest at the inauguration ceremony. Then-Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and a delegation of Argentine citizens - family members of the hostages holding dual Israeli citizenship - participated in Milei's swearing-in ceremony in December. In a poignant moment, Cohen handed Milei a dog tag inscribed in Hebrew: "Our heart is captive in Gaza," delivering a clear pro-Israel message.

'Argentinian Trump' is a blood insult against Milei
He may be an extroverted populist, like Trump, but he has a 20+ year history as a professor of economics. Trump's business record is 70% failure. Trump's present political base is Evangelical Christian, but prior to 2015 he was hardly ever seen in a church. Milei has succeeded in a national political environment which is known for lethality. Trump's success was on Twitter.

Lesson to be learned
Yes, true friends of Israel are Trumps. I hope Amer. Jews remember that in Nov. It is becoming clearer what the motives of Biden and the Demorats are…use Israel like a vassal proxy to achieve their goals. But alas, ultra lib Amer Jews and their organizations, have placed liberal philosophy over the needs of Israel & Jews. They only see danger to Jews when it arises from the right, never from the left.
