Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar on Tuesday offered Argentina assistance following deadly floods south of the nation’s capital of 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,” he tweeted on X. “Israel stands with Argentina during these difficult days.”

At least 16 people have been killed by a storm that hit Bahía Blanca last Friday. Some 12 inches of rain fell in the city over several days; 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,” he tweeted.

Milei will be visiting Israel later this month, where he is to address the parliament.
