This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Foreign Ministry rejected this equation and said that the decision calls into question Israel’s right to self-defense, which Argentina reaffirmed and upheld.
Argentina also criticized the decision as having overlooked the independence of the Israeli court system, which is supposed to be given the opportunity to act on the charges before the ICC issues arrest warrants.
“The Prosecutor seems to have overlooked the work of the Israeli courts in the investigations into the alleged acts, and he has not given the local judiciary the opportunity to carry out their function with all relevant guarantees.”
“The Argentine Government believes the Prosecutor’s behavior does not contribute to improving the situation, but rather further hinders the efforts to secure the release of the hostages still held captive by Hamas, to allow access to humanitarian aid, and to reach a long-term solution to the crisis.”
President Javier Milei has been a strong supporter of Israel since his inauguration in December, even visiting in early February, when he vowed to move the Argentinian Embassy to Jerusalem.
Milei has regularly expressed his desire to convert to Judaism; however, his personal spiritual advisor, Rabbi Axel Wahnish, persuaded him to wait until the end of his term as president.
