The ties of the far-right president of Argentina, Javier Milei, with Zionism transcend, in addition to mixing the political and the personal.

For journalist and writer Ezequiel Kopel, Milei “seeks to advance quite controversial positions, transferring positions within the Jewish community”.

In recent statements, the extreme right has pondered the bellicose action of the Zionist government of Benjamin Netanyahu with comments like this: “Western culture is being saved”.

As part of his neoliberal administration against the People, Milei is responsible for the fact that pensioners no longer have social security with the policy that “there is no money” he has taken the pension from Argentines to be granted to retired Israeli soldiers.

Milei is convinced that he is the messiah and that he will save the Jewish people.

The ambassador to Israel, Axel Wahnish, is Milei's personal rabbi, the manager of her, for now, frustrated religious conversion and whom she calls her “spiritual guide”.

During his first trip to the United States (USA), as elected president in November 2023, Milei visited the grave of the Lubavitch rebbe, founder of the Zionist Chabad Lubavitch sect, of which Wahnish is a member. And also, emulating Trump, he has promised to move the embassy to Jerusalem.
