Argentine President Javier Milei spoke alongside Israeli President Isaac Herzog, saying that "the friendship between our countries and our peoples constitutes a diplomatic cornerstone for our government." According to him, "We stand by your side in these dark days. We will not surrender to criticism stemming from cowardly approaches or barbarism. The fight against terrorism is a shared goal." He called for the release of hostages held by Hamas, including Eitan Horn, Ariel and David Cunio, and Lior Rudaeff, who hold Argentine citizenship, adding: "May God bless Israel. May God bless Argentina."
