Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar on Tuesday offered Argentina assistance following deadly floods south of the capital Buenos Aires.
“Our thoughts are with our friend President Javier Milei and the people of Argentina and the families of the victims of the devastating flood,” Sa’ar wrote on X. “Israel stands with Argentina during these difficult days.”
At least 16 people were killed when heavy rains pelted the Argentinian city of Bahía Blanca in a storm that started last Friday.
Some 12 inches of rain fell in the city over several days, when the historical monthly average is about 5 inches.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also extended well-wishes from Jerusalem.
“On behalf of all Israelis, I send my heartfelt condolences to you and the families of those who tragically perished in Bahía Blanca following the horrific floods,” Netanyahu wrote on X.
