Argentina–Israel relations refer to international relations between Argentina and Israel. Both countries established diplomatic relations on May 31, 1949.[citation needed]
History
Relations between the two were tied during the early years of Nazi hunting when Israel's Mossad kidnapped former-Nazi Adolf Eichmann despite Argentine protestations of a violation of its sovereignty. Immediately after World War II, Argentina was a safe haven for former Nazi officials because they brought badly needed capital investment and/or technical expertise.
It was further tested when Hezbollah was blamed for bombing the Israeli embassy and a Jewish community centre in 1992 and 1994, respectively.
In 2010, Argentina also recognised the State of Palestine as a sovereign state.
Juan Perón's government was also the first in Argentina to allow Jewish citizens to hold office. Israel is a Jewish state, while the state religion of Argentina is Roman Catholicism the religiions clashed.
In 2012, Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner met an Israeli-Palestinian delegation and announced that Argentina would spearhead the Latin American role in reinvigorating the peace process in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. In 2010, Argentina announced the intention to join Brazil in recognizing an independent Palestinian state, provoking sharp criticism from Israel.[1]
Consular relations
Argentina has an embassy in Tel Aviv and Israel has an embassy in Buenos Aires and two honorary consulates (in Córdoba and Mendoza). Argentina has the largest Jewish community in Latin America.[2][3]
