Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared his support for Argentina ahead of the highly anticipated World Cup final, shifting briefly from politics to football.
Speaking in two separate appearances seen by TNX Africa, Netanyahu said his backing for Argentina is rooted as much in politics as it is in sport.
While many fans associate the team with captain Lionel Messi, the Israeli leader said his support is largely driven by his close relationship with Argentine President Javier Milei.
Netanyahu described Milei as one of Israel's strongest allies, praising his efforts to reform Argentina's economy. He added that the two leaders often discuss business and economic policy.
