MK Alon Shuster said ahead of the World Cup final that the right supports Argentina's President Milei, while Arabs naturally support Argentina, and South Americans are left-wing, describing how Israeli backing for Argentina transcends political camps.
MK Alon Shuster (Israel Resilience) was interviewed on Yaakov Eylon's news program ahead of tonight's World Cup final. He noted that Israeli support for Argentina is bipartisan: the right-wing camp admires Argentine President Javier Milei, Arab-Israeli communities have long favored Argentina as a football nation, and South American immigrants in Israel lean left. Shuster's remarks highlight the rare cross-political consensus around the Argentine team in the run-up to the final.
