Argentina’s newly minted president, Javier Milei, is on his way to Israel to meet with the Jewish state’s president, Isaac Herzog, in a show of support from South America. Most of Mr. Milei’s neighbors vehemently disagree with his staunchly pro-Israel stance. 

Speaking to reporters on a commercial flight shortly before takeoff from his home country, Mr. Milei said that he was meeting with Mr. Herzog “to express my support for Israel against the terrorist attacks of the Hamas terrorist group.”
