In a significant boost to Israel-Latin America relations, legislators from more than a dozen countries across the region concluded a three-day conference in Buenos Aires by signing a resolution endorsing the expansion of the Isaac Accords. The framework, modeled after the Abraham Accords, aims to deepen economic, technological, diplomatic, and security ties with Israel while encouraging more nations to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s undivided capital by relocating their embassies there.

The Latin America Chairmen’s Conference, held from June 28-30, 2026, was organized by the Israel Allies Foundation (IAF) in cooperation with the American Friends of Isaac Accords (AFOIA) of the Genesis Prize Foundation. It gathered more than 20 lawmakers, ambassadors, religious leaders, and political figures to advance pro-Israel parliamentary cooperation.

A Broad Regional Coalition

According to organizers, participating countries included Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, Honduras, Chile, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, and Panama, reflecting broad regional representation across the hemisphere.

Key Outcomes and Statements

The resolution calls for greater regional cooperation with Israel and renews efforts to move embassies to Jerusalem. It also promotes wider adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism and stronger legislative action against terrorism and extremism.

Argentine President Javier Milei, the driving force behind the Isaac Accords, delivered a keynote address emphasizing moral clarity.

From day one as president, I made the firm determination to place Argentina on the right side of history. Disorganized evil can only be defeated by organized good. There is no room for neutrality. Javier Milei · President of Argentina

Argentina’s Ambassador to Israel, Shimon Axel Wahnish, highlighted Milei’s view of Israel as a strategic friend and ally, calling for unity across Latin America to accelerate the Accords and improve daily life for citizens through practical cooperation.

Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro praised the Israel Allies Foundation’s president, Josh Reinstein, for his long-standing work in faith-based diplomacy, which has helped nations move embassies to Jerusalem and combat antisemitism.

Reinstein described the event as “a defining moment,” urging parliamentarians to embrace the Isaac Accords and take the historic step of relocating embassies. S. Fitzgerald Haney, AFOIA’s managing director for Latin America, noted that the gathering was more than a conference — it was a strong statement of commitment. Leopoldo Martínez, IAF’s Latin America director, highlighted the “extraordinary parliamentary support for Israel” and shared Judeo-Christian values, democracy, freedom, and peace.

Regional and Global Significance

This development comes amid shifting dynamics in Latin America, where several leaders are prioritizing stronger Western alliances, economic pragmatism, and shared security concerns. Supporters view the Isaac Accords as a pathway to prosperity, countering extremism, and reinforcing democratic values in the hemisphere.

The United States has expressed support, seeing the initiative as complementary to its own interests in regional stability, trade, and alliances. Organizers and participants expressed optimism that the Buenos Aires declaration will inspire more legislative action and governmental commitments across the region in the coming months.

This conference marks another milestone in the growing friendship between Israel and Latin America, grounded in shared values and mutual benefits. As one organizer put it, it is about building an “unbreakable alliance” through faith-based and parliamentary diplomacy.
