Argentina’s President Javier Milei to receive $1M Genesis Prize in Israel
- Argentina’s President Javier Milei is set to be honored with the $1 million Genesis Prize at a ceremony on June 11 held in Israel’s Knesset.
- Milei, elected in 2023 with 56% of the vote, rose from political obscurity by promoting radical economic reforms and staunch support for Israel.
- He reversed Argentina’s traditional anti-Israel stance by designating Hamas terrorist, reopening 1990s bombing probes, and pledging to move the embassy to Jerusalem.
- The Genesis Prize Foundation praised Milei for “unequivocal support” of Israel and said he declined the cash award to fund regional diplomatic and anti-antisemitism programs.
- Milei’s recognition may deepen Israel-Latin America ties, while his presidency continues to divide Argentina amid ongoing economic challenges.
