Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, currently in the U.S., planned to visit Argentina afterward, but President Javier Milei, a staunch supporter of Israel, asked not to hold the visit at the current timing. The reason for the postponement is political. Parliamentary elections will soon take place in Argentina, and Milei fears that the prime minister's visit would harm him, after his position has already weakened recently. Sources in Argentina said the postponement is not related to Israel and that it is a general decision regarding visits by any world leader. Argentina is one of the few countries willing to receive Netanyahu.
