Argentina
Milei met with Netanyahu at the UN and again expressed his support for Israel
The meeting was held behind closed doors, lasted 20 minutes, and marked the end of the President’s agenda in New York. Pablo Quirno and Luis Caputo also took part.
Javier Milei held a meeting in New York with Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations headquarters, in what was his last official activity before returning to Argentina. The meeting, held behind closed doors, lasted 20 minutes.
According to Infobae, iProfesional and Crónica, during the conversation both analyzed the situation in the Middle East and reaffirmed their political alignment. Milei was accompanied by Pablo Quirno and Luis Caputo.
Infobae and iProfesional reported that Netanyahu strongly praised Milei at the end of the meeting. “President Milei is one of the great leaders of our time,” said the Israeli prime minister, who also highlighted his economic management and his defense of Israel. The Argentine President replied: “Thank you very much, my friend. It is an honor for me to receive your words, you being one of the greatest leaders in the entire history of the world.”
According to Crónica, Netanyahu’s office said the premier thanked Milei for his “firm and unconditional support” for the State of Israel and congratulated him for receiving in New York the “Defender of Israel” award from Yeshiva Darchei Torah.
In parallel, Infobae reported that the meeting also addressed the Malvinas Islands. In response to a question from that outlet, Pablo Quirno confirmed that the issue was part of the conversation, although he did not provide details. That same coverage indicated that there were no specifics about a possible mention of the Navitas Petroleum case, the Israeli company that participates in the Sea Lion project together with the British firm Rockhopper Exploration.
iProfesional added that the meeting took place amid strong international pressure on Netanyahu over the war in Gaza and just weeks before an electoral contest scheduled for October 27. That outlet also noted that, during the Israeli prime minister’s speech before the UN General Assembly, dozens of diplomats left the chamber in protest.
After the activity at the UN, Milei left New York to begin his return to Buenos Aires.
