Bloomberg news agency corrects an article saying Argentina’s president-elect Javier Miley is converting to Judaism, citing an aide who said only that Miley plans to do so, quotes Times of Israel.

Miley, a staunch right-wing libertarian who won the Nov. 19 election with a landslide, is seeking to become Jewish, according to an article published Tuesday.

The article indirectly quotes an unidentified Milea representative as saying this.

But Miley has made no secret of his commitment to Israel and Judaism, particularly in a 2021 speech in which he told reporters: “I am thinking of converting to Judaism and I aspire to become the first Jewish president in the history of Argentina.”

Miley, who has several Jewish advisers, friends and mentors, is not currently known to be in the process of officially converting.

However, his first stop after arriving in New York this week was at the grave of the late Chabad Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.
