Argentina, Israel launch Isaac Accords to expand strategic cooperation across Western Hemisphere

Argentine President Javier Milei and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Saturday the launch of the Isaac Accords, a new strategic framework designed to strengthen cooperation between Argentina, Israel, and additional like-minded partners across the Western Hemisphere.

According to the announcement, the initiative is intended to unite countries that identify with the Judeo-Christian tradition and with the defense of freedom and democracy, while creating a practical platform for joint action on shared security, diplomatic, and economic priorities.

Framework centered on security and democratic alignment

The Isaac Accords are aimed at advancing cooperation in the fight against terrorism, antisemitism, and drug trafficking, while also promoting broader strategic alignment among participating countries.

The statement said member states will pursue concrete actions based on these principles, with efforts focused in particular on improving coordination against terrorist organizations and countering Iran’s attempts to expand its terrorist infrastructure and operational presence throughout the Western Hemisphere.

• Strengthening coordination against terrorist groups.

• Combating antisemitism and drug trafficking.

• Countering Iranian efforts to expand terror networks in the region.

• Increasing diplomatic coordination in international forums.

Economic and technological cooperation also part of the initiative

Beyond security coordination, the Isaac Accords are also intended to create a framework for deeper cooperation in innovation, technology, trade, and economic openness.

The initiative’s backers presented it as a long-term platform not only for strategic coordination, but also for expanding economic opportunity and regional cooperation among participating states.

Modeled on Trump’s Abraham Accords

The announcement said the Isaac Accords draw inspiration from U.S. President Donald Trump’s Abraham Accords, which reshaped parts of the regional diplomatic landscape in the Middle East.

According to the statement, the new initiative was conceived by Milei, who was described as a leading regional voice for freedom and hope.

“The Isaac Accords aim to promote peace through actions that foster long-term regional stability, security, and economic prosperity.”

Invitation to additional partners

The announcement also made clear that the framework is intended to expand beyond Argentina and Israel.

Its founders said they welcome the inclusion of other like-minded countries in the Western Hemisphere that share the same core values and strategic outlook.

The launch positions the Isaac Accords as both a political statement and an emerging diplomatic architecture, with Argentina and Israel seeking to turn shared principles into a broader regional partnership.
