JERUSALEM (AP) — Argentina’s President Javier Milei is headed to Israel.
Milei was awarded the $1 million Genesis Prize in January in recognition of his support of Israel.
After he postponed a planned visit in March, he is now set to receive the prize in a ceremony at Israel’s Knesset on June 11 and deliver a speech to the Israeli parliament.
Organizers say Milei will donate the prize money to launch an initiative aimed at improving diplomatic relations between Israel and Latin American countries and fighting antisemitism in the region.
Milei also has pledged to move Argentina’s embassy to Jerusalem — joining a handful of countries, including the U.S., to recognize the contested city as Israel’s capital. The move is not expected to take place during his visit.
