Today, Argentine President Javier Milei visited the Hebrew University, where he delivered a speech outlining his economic policy and highlighting the strong ties between Argentina and Israel. He was presented with the Jerusalem Crown Bible by University President Prof. Asher Cohen and met with Daniel Lischinsky, father of Yaron Lischinsky z”l, an alumnus murdered in a recent terror attack.
The President of Argentina, Mr. Javier Milei, visited Hebrew University today. President Milei delivered a speech before a full hall of students and faculty members, in which he outlined his economic doctrine, described how he brought about change in Argentina’s economy, and praised the relationship between his country and Israel.
President Milei said: “My policy is one of peace and free trade, and I have defined my key allies— the United States and Israel. During my election campaign, while touring one of the neighborhoods in Buenos Aires, a young boy came up to me and handed me a white cloth on which he had drawn the Israeli flag with a Star of David. I want to tell you—this is the most moving flag I have ever received.”
At the start of the event, Hebrew University President Prof. Asher Cohen presented President Milei with the Jerusalem Crown Bible, the university’s official Bible. It is a codification (organization, compilation, and systematic editing) of the ancient holy scriptures carried out by university scholars. This Bible is the official edition used in the swearing-in ceremonies of members of the Knesset and the President of the State of Israel.
During his visit to the university, President Milei also met with Daniel Lischinsky, the father of Yaron Lischinsky z”l, who was murdered along with his partner Sarah Milgrim z”l in a terrorist attack in Washington last month. Yaron was an alumnus of the Hebrew University. The president expressed his condolences to Mr. Lischinsky.
