Argentine President Javier Milei began his visit to Eretz Yisroel today with a visit to the Kosel, arriving there shortly after landing as part of his third official trip to the country since taking office.

Milei was accompanied by a senior delegation that included Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein, Presidential Secretary Karina Milei, Argentina’s ambassador to Israel Rabbi Shimon Axel Wahnish, and his wife.

He was received at the Kosel by Rav Shmuel Rabinowitz, rov of the Kosel and the mekomos hakedoshim, along with Mordechai (Suli) Eliav, director of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation. The two welcomed the president warmly and praised his unwavering support for the Jewish people and the State of Israel, noting the strong relationship he has developed with Jews and with the country in recent years.

During the visit, Milei was visibly emotional, saying that the Kosel is the most important place for him. He recited a kappitel of Tehillim together with Rav Rabinowitz and offered a special prayer for the peace of both nations and for the continued strengthening of the bond between the peoples and countries.

As in his previous visits, Milei is expected to return to the Kosel before concluding his trip,.

At the end of the visit, the president offered a personal prayer, received from Rav Rabinowitz an English edition of his sefer Avnei Derech on the Yomim Tovim, and signed the official guest book.
