The Spin
Pro-Israel narrative
In a world where leaders are turning their backs, Milei has proven himself one of the staunchest defenders of Israel and the Jewish people. Jerusalem is the ancient and undivided capital of the Jewish people, and this merely reflects the reality that the rest of the world is too afraid to admit. Argentina and Israel shall always remain allies.
Pro-Palestine narrative
East Jerusalem has been illegally occupied by Israel for decades, yet far-right leaders the world over are willing to give their assent to Israel's conquest. As the genocide in Gaza continues apace, Milei has demonstrated a disregard for international law. Argentina should not ally themselves with this pariah state and enable a humanitarian catastrophe.
