Israel and Argentina Launch ‘Isaac Accords,’ Plan Direct El Al Flights

The pact signals a new template for regional cooperation that targets Iranian influence.

Overview

  • Netanyahu and Milei on Sunday launched the Isaac Accords, a framework that links Argentina, Israel and like‑minded partners in the Americas on security, diplomacy and technology.
  • Officials said the plan targets Iran’s networks and coordination against terrorism, antisemitism and drug trafficking, with a U.S. envoy present and several Latin American governments signaling interest in joining.
  • At the signing, the governments executed MOUs on counterterrorism, artificial intelligence collaboration and an amended aviation protocol to ease airline operations.
  • The leaders announced new El Al nonstop flights between Tel Aviv and Buenos Aires, with start dates reported from later this year to November–December 2026 and with Israeli subsidies, which would give Latin America’s largest Jewish community a direct link to Israel.
  • Milei amplified the alignment by endorsing the U.S.–Israel war against Iran and by receiving Israel’s Presidential Medal and a rare role in the Independence Day torch‑lighting.
