Venezuela’s self-declared interim president, Juan Guaidó, has appointed Elisa Alejandra Trotta Gamus as the country’s envoy to Argentina.

A Venezuelan native, Gamus, 36—a lawyer and human-rights activist—was a one-time representative to the Latin American Jewish Congress.

Israeli Ambassador to Argentina Ilan Sztulman mentioned Gamus as “ambassador” during a meeting at the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires. There, Sztulman said: “We want to in a short period of time resume our diplomatic relations with your new and legitimate government.”

Gamus concurred, saying that “hopefully, we will continue working together in mutual efforts between both countries.”

The Foreign Ministry accused the U.N. chief of failing to mention the Iranian regime and its terror proxies in his Middle East escalation post.
“The land of the boot has become the land of the flip-flop,” said Israel’s national security minister.
“The details of the incident are under review,” the military said.
Officials said the move could accelerate joint infrastructure projects and deepen regional cooperation on energy security and innovation.
“Don’t let the background noise confuse you. The U.S.-Israel alliance is strategic, long term, and stronger than ever,” said Ambassador Yechiel Leiter.
