On President of Argentina Javier Milei’s recent visit to Israel, he presented Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a special painting of Netanyahu together with the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
Netanyahu was visibly moved and proceeded to share with the Argentine President what the Rebbe told him when he first met with the Rebbe: “The Rebbe told me I’m going to the UN, a place of lies and darkness, but even one small candle can push away a lot of darkness.”
In response, President Milei told Netanyahu: “If you listen to my UN speeches, you’ll see that much of what I say is based on the Rebbe’s teachings.”
Netanyahu continued: “He was an unbelievable man – an amazing man. He was a prophet. He had these laser blue eyes and such a clear, prophetic vision.” He added that the gift was very dear to him.
Milei also met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog who made it a point to quote the Rebbe in his official remarks.
