Argentina's new ** Milley, known for his unique personality and unexpected remarks, is aptly called "madman" by the public
Since taking office, his style has been so different from that of conventional great-power leaders that he has often felt confusing. At the beginning of the new year, the "madman"** made a controversial decision to make his first state visit to Israel.
At present, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is once again rippling, and Israel's series of atrocities in the Gaza Strip have triggered widespread condemnation by the international community.
However, in addition to the so-called "war camp" of the United States and the West, South American countries such as Bolivia and Chile, although geographically far away from the war, have also issued strong criticisms of Israel at the diplomatic level.
Against this backdrop, any open support for Israel by any non-US Western country would go some way to gaining some room for manoeuvre in the diplomatic arena.
As the second most important country in South America and a member of important international organizations such as the G20, Argentina's choice is particularly eye-catching. Millet**'s choice to visit Israel at this sensitive moment is in itself a sign of Argentina's support for Israel.
In other words, Argentina's plan to visit at this juncture undoubtedly shows Argentina's position in international relations with practical actions, and the strategic considerations behind it and its response to the complex international situation have undoubtedly left a deep impression on the world.
Obviously, Milley's visit to Israel is itself a diplomatic "gift" to Israel. But that's just the tip of the iceberg, and his efforts to strengthen relations between the two countries go far beyond that.
The international community generally considers Jerusalem to be a candidate for the future capital of Palestine, while the official capital of Israel is Tel Aviv, so countries usually locate their embassies in Tel Aviv.
During the Trump administration, the United States made an unprecedented diplomatic adjustment, and in order to show its unwavering support for Israel, Trump decided to move the U.S. embassy from Telvia to Jerusalem.
Globally, only a handful of countries, such as Guatemala, Honduras, Papua New Guinea, and Kosovo, which has strong Western support, have followed suit and chosen to establish a symbolic representation in Jerusalem.
What is quite surprising is that Milley has announced in a high-profile manner a few days ago that Argentina will also follow suit and plan to move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. This move is undoubtedly a major support for Israel in the international arena and can be regarded as another heavyweight diplomatic gift he has given to Israel.
During his visit to Israel, Milley specially visited the symbolic "Wailing Wall" and showed deep emotional resonance, so much so that he felt embarrassed and shed tears on the scene.
This move has undoubtedly touched the sensitive nerves of the Arab countries in the Middle East, and has aroused a chorus of criticism and diplomatic discontent. However, Argentina's relatively limited direct ties with Middle Eastern countries, its abundant energy resources, and its low dependence on the Middle East have made it fearless in his foreign policy decisions.
On the other hand, Milley's move hides a deeper political consideration: to indirectly bring the United States closer by drawing closer to Israel. After all, in the chess game of international politics, supporting Israel is often seen as an important card to win the favor of the United States.
