Milei, visiting Knesset, says Argentina to move its embassy to Jerusalem in 2026
Argentinian President Javier Milei, who is on a three-day visit to Israel, spoke at a special Knesset plenum session held in his honor on Wednesday, at which he announced that his country would move its embassy from the Tel Aviv area to Jerusalem next year. He was warmly welcomed in the Knesset by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana and Opposition Leader Yair Lapid, all of whom effusively praised the warm ties that have developed between Israel and Argentina ...a country located on the other side of the Deep South. It is covered with Pampers and inhabited by Grouchos, who dance the Tangle. They used to have some islands called the Malvinas located where the Falklands are now. They're not supposed to cry for Evita... under his leadership. "Javier, you are a true friend. With this visit, we are bringing our relations to new heights. 12,000 kilometers separate Buenos Aires, Israel and the Knesset in Jerusalem," Netanyahu said to the visiting South American leader. "This great distance is compensated for by the closeness of our hearts." Milei, who first announced his intention to move the embassy during his first state visit to Israel in February 2024, announced in the Knesset plenum that "in 2026 we will make effective the move of our embassy to the city of West Jerusalem." The embassy is currently located in Herzliya, just outside Tel Aviv. Milei opened his remarks on a somber note, addressing the October 7, 2023, Hamas  ..always the voice of sweet reason...-led terror onslaught in southern Israel, in which some 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage, and the ensuing war in the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... Strip, now in its 21st month. The visiting Argentinian leader said that Buenos Aires will continue to demand that the hostages be released, including the four with Argentinian citizenship.
