Israel and Argentina signed an agreement on flights between Buenos Aires and Tel Aviv.

According to the Jerusalem Post, El Al flights will begin next month, and the first of them will apparently be announced by Netanyahu, whose visit to Argentina is scheduled for September 12-13. Flights will take place with an intermediate landing in Madrid or Barcelona.

In fact, the Al-Al was already flying to Buenos Aires in 1960. On May 19, 1960, a special Israeli delegation headed by a minister without a portfolio, Abba Evan, flew to Argentina to celebrate the 150th anniversary of her independence. This was the official part of the mission, and in the framework of its unofficial part, the El Al aircraft took Argentine Adolph Eichmann the next day, captured nine days earlier and disguised as an employee of El Al.

On May 22, 1960, after refueling at the Dakar airport in Senegal, the plane arrived in Israel. In 1961, Eichmann was convicted and hanged in 1962. His body was cremated, and ashes scattered over the Mediterranean Sea.
