For the first time since its inauguration more than a decade ago, the prize dubbed the “Jewish Nobel” is going to a non-Jew: Javier Milei, the president of Argentina.

Javier Milei's first year in office shows a major victory against inflation in Argentina, but at the expense of a deep recession.

Genesis Prize Chairman Stan Polovets praised Milei’s support for Israel, achievements in reforming Argentina’s economy, and pursuit of justice for AMIA terror victims.

Argentinian President Javier Milei has been awarded Israel's prestigious 2025 Genesis Prize in recognition of his support of Israel.

Argentine President Javier Milei recently completed a year in office. Milei’s tenure has been a mixed bag so far. Milei, who supports minimal or no government interference in economic matters, began his tenure when Argentina was going through its worst economic crisis in at least two decades.

The Argentinian president, who has worked to change his country’s tune on Israel, will take home the coveted Genesis Prize after a unanimous vote.
