Latin American Legislators Back Expansion of Isaac Accords at Buenos Aires Conference

The resolution could shift regional diplomacy by pressing legislatures to back embassy moves to Jerusalem, new laws targeting Iran-linked networks, with adoption of the IHRA antisemitism definition.

Overview

  • Legislators from more than a dozen countries signed an Israel Allies Foundation resolution on Tuesday in Buenos Aires endorsing expansion of the Isaac Accords and urging closer ties with Israel.
  • The conference urged participating parliaments to press for moving national embassies to Jerusalem as a symbolic step toward recognition of the city as Israel’s capital.
  • Speakers led by Argentine President Javier Milei framed the accords as a values-based response to terrorism and antisemitism and called for concrete legal steps by legislatures.
  • Organizers pushed coordinated measures including adoption of the IHRA working definition of antisemitism and laws to disrupt Iran-linked networks and transnational criminal activity.
  • Argentina has already taken executive actions this year—including designating the IRGC as a terrorist group—and the Buenos Aires resolution represents parliamentary pledges that still require separate national executive decisions to become binding.
