Last month, Israel experienced another biblically significant event: the signing of the โIsaac Accordsโ between Israel and Argentina.
Outside of President Trump, Argentine President Javier Milei has been the strongest foreign leader to stand with Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently nicknamed him โChaverโ Javier, the Hebrew term for โfriend.โ This play on words is a name that fits Milei perfectly.
The โIsaac Accordsโ follow the historic โAbraham Accords,โ brokered by President Trump in 2020 during his first term, between Israel and four Muslim-majority nationsโthe UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan.
These Abraham Accords countered the claims of the anti-Israel haters on the left and the woke right. Not only has Israel sought peace, the Jewish State has proven that it has been working hard to achieve it, including with its Muslim neighbors. Under the Abraham Accords, descendants of Ishmael sat down with the descendants of Isaac and agreed to build something together. That’s importantโboth historically and biblically.
The newly brokered โIsaac Accordsโ is the next generation, and the name tells you everything. Abraham had two sons, Isaac and Ishmael. The world has spent thousands of years arguing over the son of the slave (Ishmael), but Jerusalem and Buenos Aires just remembered the son of promise (Isaac). It’s the Judeo-Christian West signing a document, a memorandum of understanding, with Israel, commemorating their shared values.
The Isaac Accords are a framework binding Israel and Argentina, and it doesn’t stop with one South American nation. El Salvador, Panama, Ecuador, and others are expected to follow suit, declaring shared goals of security, economic prosperity, intelligence, architecture, stopping terrorism, fighting antisemitism, stopping drug trafficking, and stopping Iran and its terror networks, the number one state sponsor of terror in the world.
Those are shared Judeo-Christian values worth celebrating.
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, standing alongside Netanyahu and Milei, stated: โWe are in a world where we need all the friends and all the allies that we can possibly have. I am grateful for the leadership that both of these leaders have brought, not only to bring back the values that are the underpinning of Western civilization and the Judeo-Christian foundation upon which our nations were built, but to stand with moral clarity in a way that most leaders are afraid to do. I stand here today with two world leaders who have the courage, the conviction, and the will, and it’s an honor to be able to be with both of you.โ
Milei also announced that Argentina is moving its embassy to Jerusalem, to become the eighth country, including the United States, to do so. This move follows the Bible. King David declared Jerusalem the eternal capital of Israelโnot Palestineโ3,000 years ago, before Islam existed. Argentinaโs declaration, and the other nations that moved their embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, are affirming this truth.
There are Biblical and practical reasons for supporting Israel, and Argentina is almost a microcosm for all of it. Three years ago, Argentina was a corpse. Inflation was 300%. Under a failed socialist experiment, poverty was out of control, and its currency was collapsing. With the leadership of Javier Milei, who stood shoulder to shoulder with Israel, blessing the Jewish state, Argentina is alive again.
Genesis 12:3 and Numbers 24:9 both explicitly say that those who bless Israel and the Jewish people will be blessed, and those who curse Israel and the Jewish people will be cursed.
Argentina is living out these verses in real time. Itโs not complicated. Supporting Israel is practical, and it’s Biblical.
