With the escalation of tension in the Middle East and Iran's violent attack on Israel,
Javier Milei
decided to change his plans: he canceled his trip to Denmark and this Sunday he will return from the United States to Argentina. But before the war worsened, the president gave an interview to American presenter Ben Shapiro in which he reiterated his
"unrestricted" support for Israel
, and said that for him
"the greatest hero of freedom of all time is Moses"
.
In developing the ideas about "freedom" that he usually preaches, Milei criticized the management of Joe Biden and other European leaders and highlighted his link with Israel. "The ideas of freedom are in America, even when they have been degraded and strayed from the path of late; those ideas are still in Europe when they are cluttered with regulations that keep them stagnant.
But above all, those values are in Israel
," he explained.
The president said that everything is found in two publications, "in the second book of the Torah" and "in Shemot." And he concluded: "Without a doubt
the greatest hero of freedom of all time is Moses
."
For Milei, Israel's link with freedom
is "fundamental"
because it is a people, in his view, that was able to merge
"the spiritual and the material
. "
"It is very important to understand the link of freedom with Israel. It is fundamental because it is a people that has also achieved the conjunction between the spiritual and the material. And that spiritual and material harmony generates progress," she pointed out.
Milei recorded the interview with journalist Ben Shapiro last Wednesday, prior to the war initiated by Iran against Israel, and only this Sunday morning the talk premiered on the far-right presenter's YouTube channel.
In another part of the interview, Milei admitted there were events that "impacted his life" that brought him closer to "Judaism" and he once again highlighted the figure of Moses.
"Beyond different events that throughout my life have had a strong impact on me and have led me towards Judaism, the set of values are fundamental for the construction of institutions," he said. And he remarked: "
The day you read about Moses, you become a Taliban of freedom
."
Milei had spent a few days in the United States with a series of agreed interviews, and his journey included Europe. But her visit to Denmark was canceled at the last minute, because the President intends to return to the country immediately and evaluate how the Argentine State will help Israel.
According to government sources, Milei will arrive this Sunday late in the afternoon and as soon as he arrives, he will meet at the Casa Rosada with his team to define "the correct position" and even evaluate the possible sending of "health aid."
