Ambassador Rabbi Shimon Axel Wahnish played an audio message from Argentine President Miley to Netanyahu. Miley was heard saying, “You are my friend, always supporting us. I am very happy to know that you are supporting Argentina because of me.” In turn, Netanyahu said, “Javier, you are a true friend. We are by your side, supporting Argentina in many ways. We will do it tomorrow. Good luck.”

Not stopping here, after the meeting with the ambassador of Argentina, Netanyahu said, “It is not that I am a supporter of Argentina. I think that most of the citizens of Israel support Argentina. Good luck! Let’s go Argentina.” Note that Milley has publicly supported Israel since becoming president. The reflection of that was also seen in the football World Cup.
