Israel's Genesis Prize awarded to Argentinian President Javier Milei

Argentinian president Javier Milei has been awarded Israel’s prestigious 2025 Genesis Prize in recognition of his support of Israel, organizers announced Tuesday. During his year in office, Milei has announced he will move the embassy to Jerusalem, supported Israel at the United Nations, and pledged to bring justice for bombings of Israeli and Jewish sites in Argentina in the 1990s. The $1 million award is granted each year to a person for their professional achievements, contributions to humanity and commitment to Jewish values. Previous recipients have donated the prize to philanthropic causes. Milei said he would donate the funds to causes that fight anti-Semitism in Argentina and around the world.
