Argentine President Javier Milei has announced a national day of mourning for the Bibas brothers, who will be brought back to Israel on Thursday.
Sabrina Ajmechet, President of the Argentine Commission for Human Rights, expressed her sorrow on X/Twitter for Kfir and Ariel Bibas, who were both dual citizens of Argentina through their father, recently freed hostage Yarden Bibas.
“Two Argentinian babies assassinated because of Hamas terrorism,” Ajmechet wrote. “I hope that never again, after this, I have to hear that what happens in Israel and Gaza is not our concern, of all Argentines.”
“A huge hug to the Bibas family. Today, all Argentines are with you,” she added.
The Argentine president has consistently shown strong support for Israel. He has condemned the October 7 attack in no uncertain terms and visited Israel several times since the onset of the Israel-Hamas war. “Silence is complicity, and it compels us to condemn the brutal and cowardly terrorist attack of October 7,” he stated in a letter in December 2024.
