Monument to 85 Victims of Buenos Aires Bombing to Be Built in Binyamin

In depth

Israel Ganz, chairman of the Yesha Council and head of the Binyamin Regional Council, visited the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, which was hit in the severe terror attack in Argentina's history. During the visit, Ganz lit a memorial candle and recited Psalms in memory of those killed.

At a meeting with the president of AMIA, attorney Osvaldo Armoza, it was agreed to establish a monument in Binyamin to commemorate the 85 victims. As part of the initial planning, the option of including a memorial element linking it to the original building destroyed in the attack is being examined.

Ganz told the community: "You are not alone" and "Even when thousands of kilometers separate us, we are connected in memory, in fate and in our shared future." In September, Argentina decided to prosecute seven Iranians and one Lebanese, including the commander of the Revolutionary Guards.
