🇮🇱🇦🇷🇺🇸 The “Isaac Accords”: A New Front in Israel’s Global Alignment Strategy A new initiative quietly launched this year deserves far more attention than it’s getting: the Isaac Accords, a project designed to formalize a political, economic, and security bloc between Israel and Latin American states. Created through a new U.S.-based nonprofit, American Friends of Isaac Accords (AFOIA), and seeded with funds from the Genesis Prize Foundation, the initiative is directly tied to 2025 Genesis Prize Laureate and current Argentinian President Javier Milei, whose administration has become one of Israel’s strongest global allies. On its surface, the Isaac Accords are framed as a “Latin American version of the Abraham Accords”: economic cooperation, cultural exchange, educational programs, and joint development. But the statements released alongside the initiative reveal the deeper intent. Danny Danon, Israel’s UN Ambassador, describes the Accords as a way to counter regional “hostility toward the Jewish state” and pull undecided Latin American countries into Israel’s orbit. The U.S. government’s official statement goes even further, calling the Accords a tool to strengthen U.S. allies, align the hemisphere against “radical international organizations,” expand security cooperation, and combat antisemitism. In other words: this is geopolitical bloc-building, not just cultural exchange. AFOIA itself was founded in 2025 by the Genesis Prize Foundation — an institution financed and shaped by a group of Russian-Israeli billionaires (Fridman, Aven, Khan, Polovets, Knaster) and historically tied to both the Israeli government and diaspora political networks. Milei’s $1 million Genesis Prize award serves as the seed funding for the entire project. Behind the philanthropy is a clear strategy to formalize an Israel–Latin America partnership at the diplomatic, economic, and security levels at a moment when the region is deeply divided on Gaza, U.S. power, and the direction of global politics. The initiative’s objectives reflect this: • Strengthen Israel’s position in the OAS and UN through Latin American votes. • Expand bilateral security programs. • Counter “extremism” and “antisemitism,” • Draw Latin American democracies into a long-term, U.S.-backed partnership with Israel. Milei’s Argentina is already pushing a radical geopolitical realignment including moving its embassy to Jerusalem, embracing U.S. and Israeli security frameworks, and positioning itself as a regional bridge for Israel’s interests. The Accords formalize that vision, offering Israel a structured path to influence across Latin America with U.S. blessing and philanthropic machinery behind it. Whether this becomes the next major geopolitical project in the Western Hemisphere will depend on how other Latin American states respond. But the intention is clear, that the Isaac Accords are not a small cultural program, they’re an attempt to reshape hemispheric alliances at a moment of global fracture.
