Overview
- Javier Milei, who visited the Western Wall on Tuesday night, prayed for Israel and Argentina and said, “Here I feel close to God.”
- The visit took place on the eve of Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel’s Independence Day, which gave the prayer added symbolic weight.
- Mordechai (Suli) Eliav of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation presented Milei with an ash fragment from the Second Temple period.
- At the President’s Residence in Jerusalem, regional leader Yisrael Ganz gave Milei an AI image that labeled him a “Guardian of Israel.”
- The gestures capped a trip that also launched the Isaac Accords, a plan to deepen cooperation on counterterrorism, AI projects, and aviation.
