The Isaac Accords is a diplomatic, economic, and cultural initiative aimed at strengthening cooperation between Israel and Latin American countries.[1][2] The name alludes to the Abraham Accords, the 2020 agreements that normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states.[3] It was first announced in June 2025 by Argentina's Ambassador to Israel Rabbi Shimon Axel Wahnish, who previously served as personal rabbi to Argentina's President Javier Milei.[4]
The announcement followed the awarding of the Genesis Prize to President Javier Milei earlier in 2025.[5][6] Additional details about Isaac Accords were announced following the award ceremony where Milei received the Genesis Prize,[7] an award that is sometimes also called the “Jewish Nobel”.[8][9]

Organization
To help implement the Isaac Accords, the Genesis Prize Foundation (GPF) established a nonprofit organization, American Friends of Isaac Accords (AFOIA), based in New York.[10][11] GPF provided seed funding of $1 million. This was the monetary component of the $1 million Genesis Prize awarded to Milei, which he declined to accept and asked that GPF donate the funds to this initiative.[6]
