Experts doubt on Milei’s push for the “Isaac Accords” in Israel’s favour |
During his third official visit since taking office, Argentine President Javier Milei arrived in the occupied Palestinian territories. The visit reinforced his openly pro-Israel stance and highlighted a broader recalibration of Argentina’s foreign policy.
