The author adds: 'Israel is more comfortable with a divided U.S. government, the kind that allows an Israeli leader to balance between Congress and the White House, as Netanyahu did during the Obama years.

President Trump has conditioned the loan on President Javier Milei, who has converted to Judaism, winning the midterms, stating 'If he loses, we are not going to be generous with Argentina.'

Earlier this year, Milei profited over $100 million dollars from the $LIBRA cryptocurrency scam, and later dissolved the unit in charge of investigating it.
