It was a spontaneous, unscripted moment that captured what words could not: how deeply beloved Milei is in Israel, and how profoundly grateful the Jewish people are for his unwavering support","meta":null,"description":"That unforgettable scene marked the conclusion of the 2025 Genesis Prize ceremony, held in the Mizel Family Grand Hall. There, the Argentinian leader became the first non-Jewish recipient of the \u201cJewish Nobel\u201d in an event that was more than a celebration of political alliance\u2014it was a declaration of moral clarity, mutual destiny, and deep friendship.\r\n\r\n\u201cI am not a Jew,\u201d Milei said in his speech, \u201cbut this does not prevent me from feeling like the history of the Jewish people is also my history.\u201d With that, he touched on something far deeper than geopolitics\u2014something spiritual and eternal. The crowd listened in rapt attention as he spoke of shared values, civilization, and the fight against rising hatred.\r\n\r\n\u201cIn the present world,\u201d he warned, \u201cthe ghost of antisemitism regains new strength and strengthens the base of barbaric terrorism\u2026 which only promotes the cult of death, tramples on our beliefs, and tramples on the freedoms for which our ancestors fought.\u201d This award, he said, was not only an honor but \u201ca vital impulse to continue waging the cultural battle against the enemies of freedom in all its versions.\u201d\r\n\r\nLike prize recipients before him, Milei chose not to keep the $1 million prize. Instead, the funds will be dedicated to his Isaac Accords initiative\u2014modeled after the Abraham Accords\u2014which aims to forge a new alliance between Israel and Latin American democracies committed to liberty, innovation, and counterterrorism. It was a gesture that matched the gravity of his words\u2014a call to action backed by sacrifice and sincerity.\r\n\r\nSince taking office, Milei has led Argentina with bold moral leadership: reversing his country\u2019s anti-Israel UN voting record, officially designating Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist groups, declassifying archives related to Nazi fugitives, and pursuing a renewed investigation into the 1994 terror attacks against Argentina\u2019s Jewish community. At a time when many world leaders have chosen silence, Milei has chosen courage.\r\n\r\nThe Genesis Prize Foundation, represented by co-founder Stan Polovets, hailed the decision to honor Milei. \u201cMilei\u2019s support is not only symbolic. His Isaac Accords vision is a geopolitical strategy that can bring tangible results in Latin America\u2014from stronger bilateral ties to more votes for Israel at the UN.\u201d\r\n\r\nHuman rights icon and Genesis Prize selection committee member Natan Sharansky echoed the sentiment. \u201cThis year, we wanted to honor not just someone with Jewish heritage, but someone who honors the Jewish people with his courage,\u201d he said. \u201cMr. President, you are a true hero of the Jewish people.\u201d\r\n\r\nMilei ended with a blessing: \u201cI ask that you bless the Jewish people, bless the Argentines, and may the strength of heaven accompany us all.\u201d And finally, with unmistakable passion, he declared his signature cry: \u201c\u00a1Viva la libertad, carajo!\u201d\r\n\r\nAs Carole King\u2019s \u201cYou\u2019ve Got a Friend\u201d played in tribute, it was clear: in a time of uncertainty, Israel found an unexpected friend in Milei.","short_description":"That unforgettable scene
