In a powerful and direct address to the United Nations, Argentine President Javier Milei called for the "immediate release" of all hostages still held in Gaza. Speaking at the 80th General Assembly, the leader linked the current crisis to Argentina’s own painful history of terror attacks on its Jewish and Israeli communities.
"We reiterate our demand for the immediate release of the hostages who remain captive in Gaza," Milei declared from the podium. He then invoked the specter of past violence, recalling the devastating 1992 bombing of the Israeli Embassy and the 1994 attack on the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires.
"In Argentina we already suffered this horror with the attacks on the Israeli Embassy and the AMIA in 1992 and 1994," he said. The president underscored the need for international arrest warrants to be enforced to ensure those responsible face justice, condemning what he called "decades of impunity."
