AMIA Jewish Community Center bombing. This devastating suicide attack, carried out in Buenos Aires by Hezbollah, a terrorist proxy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, was the largest assault on Jews since the Holocaust until October 7. It remains the deadliest terrorist attack in Argentina's history, claiming 85 lives and injuring over 300 people.
Amid a global crisis of insecurity and rising antisemitism, ADL and partners held dozens of meetings with Argentinian authorities, community leaders, families of AMIA and October 7 victims and hostages, and much more. Additionally, ADL led various working groups and discussions on global antisemitism with the J7 Task Force Against Antisemitism, including a press conference led by ADL and hosted by our partners at DAIA warning of a
