ALT The 2025 Genesis Prize was awarded to Argentinian President Javier Milei for his unequivocal support of Israel and his extraordinary achievements in reforming Argentina’s economy, which leaders around the world are noting. Last week, the IMF agreed to a landmark deal for a $20 billion loan to support Argentina’s free market overhaul. And yesterday, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent traveled to Argentina to congratulate Milei on his economic successes and reaffirm the United States’ trust that he will continue to advance Argentina’s economy.

ALT 2025 Genesis Prize Laureate Argentinian President Javier Milei has promised to bring to justice the perpetrators of 1992 and 1994 terrorist bombings against Jewish targets in Argentina. Today, in a dramatic departure from his predecessors, Argentinian prosecutor Sebastian Basso requested that a federal court issue an arrest warrant against Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei for his direct involvement in the AMIA Jewish community center bombing in Buenos Aires in 1994. According to Basso, Khamenei "led the decision to carry out a bomb attack in Buenos Aires in July 1994 and issued executive order (fatwa) 39 to carry it out."

ALT Congratulations to 2025 Genesis Prize Laureate Argentinian President Javier Milei, who just received news that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has reached a preliminary deal to provide Argentina with $20 billion in financing to help with the country’s free market overhaul. The IMF noted Milei’s impressive progress in stabilizing the Argentinian economy and dramatically reducing inflation. The IMF Executive Board will vote on the arrangement in the coming days.

ALT While the media has focused on the newly-elected mayor of Beverly Hills, Dr. Sharona Nazarian’s (@sharona4bh) being America’s first Jewish Iranian-American mayor, few have written about her impressive commitment to social causes and philanthropy. For the past 20 years, Mayor Nazarian has worked tirelessly on combatting bullying, homelessness, and drug and alcohol abuse, while at the same time trying to unify the many faith-based organizations in her city. She chaired the Los Angeles Commission for Alcohol and Other Drugs and the Beverly Hills Human Relations Commission and served as a Beverly Hills Public Works Commissioner and Los Angeles County Commissioner. As a young child, Mayor Nazarian came to America with her parents to escape religious persecution at the outset of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, when about 30,000 Jews fled Iran. We wish Mayor Nazarian success. Caption: Genesis Prize Co-Founder and Chairman Stan Polovets with Mayor of Beverly Hills Dr. Sharona Nazarian
