'An attack against humanity: Argentina marks 32 years since deadly AMIA bombing

Argentina marked 32 years since the AMIA Jewish community center bombing in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people and injured over 300 in 1994. At a ceremony in Jerusalem, Argentinian Ambassador Shimon Axel Wahnish described the attack as “against humanity as a whole,” emphasizing its connection to international terrorism. He also highlighted the shared value of “freedom” between Israeli and Argentinian national anthems, stating, “[It's] our responsibility to honor the memory of those killed in the attack, but also fight for a world with freedom.”

• Eden Bar Tal, director-general of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, noted that the Argentinian judiciary determined Iran and its proxy Hezbollah were responsible for the AMIA bombing and the 1992 Israeli Embassy bombing in Buenos Aires.
• Roxana Levinson, whose relatives were killed in both attacks, stressed that “We can't live in peace with a terror organization. And Iran is a terrorist organization that has its own state.”
• Argentinian President Javier Milei has been recognized for his efforts to confront Iranian terrorism, including declaring Hamas and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as terror organizations.
