Argentine President Milei Declares Israel "Stronghold of the West" at Conference

Argentine President Javier Milei delivered a speech at the Allies of Israel Foundation conference, stating that Israel serves as "the wall that blocks anti-Western escalation" and warning that if Israel falls, "they will also come against the entire West." Milei said Argentina has become the first South American country to lead the Allies of Israel Foundation and was among leading forces behind the Abraham Accords. He claimed there is "an alliance between the radical left and Islamist terror" based on "hatred of Western civilization." Milei stated he decided from his first day as president to place Argentina "on the right side of history" and expressed commitment to doing the same for Latin America.
