TL;DR

Argentine President Javier Milei described Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah as the modern embodiment of the biblical Amalek, stating that the ancient evil recurs in each generation in new forms. The statement frames the current axis as a recurring force of anti-Semitism.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Argentine President Javier Milei, in a statement published Wednesday morning, compared the current axis of Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah to the biblical figure of Amalek — a symbol of recurring evil in Jewish tradition. 'Amalek is not the character of a single battle. It is a form of evil that returns in each generation in new garb,' Milei said, according to the statement. 'In the past it was Pharaoh. Then came other forms of anti-Semitism that peaked in the Holocaust. Today the regime in Tehran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the network of partners — these are the ones that sustain them.' The remarks place Milei among a growing list of world leaders framing the Israel–Iran axis conflict in theological-historical terms. The statement was carried by Israeli Telegram channels; no official Argentine government release was immediately cited.
