Milei launches the "Isaac Agreements" to expand Israeli influence in Latin America
Argentine President Javier Milei announced on Saturday the "Isaac Agreements," an initiative to strengthen political, economic, and cultural cooperation between Israel and Latin American countries, inspired by the Abraham Accords.
Argentina will act as a "pioneer" alongside the US to promote this framework in nations such as Uruguay, Panama, and Costa Rica, with possible joint projects in technology, security, and economic development.
During the meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, Milei showed his public support for Israel and Judaism, reciting the Shehecheyanu blessing and wearing a kippah.
Since coming to power, he has made Argentina one of Israel's strongest allies in the region, including plans to move the embassy to occupied Jerusalem, while opening the economy to foreign investors, even in disputed Patagonian territories with Mapuche communities.
