From the bloc of PRO congressional members, we express our deep sorrow and sadness upon receiving confirmation that tomorrow, the terrorist organization Hamas will deliver the lifeless bodies of three Argentine citizens: Shiri Silverman Bibas (32), Ariel Bibas (4), and Kfir Bibas (9 months). The mother and her two children were abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7, 2023, and murdered solely because they are Jewish. Their stories will not be forgotten and will live on forever in the call for justice from all of Argentine society.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We stand with the family and their loved ones in this difficult time, demanding the immediate release of all remaining captives held by terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Argentina and Israel\u2019s Strong Partnership<\/strong><br \/>\nLast month, the Argentinian president visited Israel and announced that he would return again in March. Milei is known for expressing strong and open support for Israel on the international stage. In this context, he has instructed his representatives in international institutions to vote in favor of Israel and appointed Rabbi Shimon Axel Wahnish as ambassador to Israel. During the \u201cSwords of Iron\u201d war, Milei became one of the prominent voices to publicly support Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In light of the return of the remains this morning, the South American nation continues to express steadfast support for Israel and demands the immediate release of the remaining captives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":15468,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[88,65],"tags":[2955,1477,2975,2953,2976,2954],"class_list":["post-15467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-will-remember","category-world","tag-ariel-bibas","tag-hamas","tag-hostage-exchange","tag-kfir-bibas","tag-president-javier-milei","tag-shiri-bibas"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.7 (Yoast SEO v24.7) -
