Today, it has Latin America's largest Jewish community and one of the world's biggest.

"In the case of Iran, it's not only merely terror, it's also the quest for nuclear weapons that concerns us and should concern the entire global community".

Israel's Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday to lobby President Donald Trump to change or cancel the Iran nuclear deal at his upcoming meeting with the U.S. leader in late September.

"Not only is he himself accused of committing crimes against humanity in the International Criminal Court for killing civilians, bombing schools, hospitals and Palestinian mosques, but he provides protection to a repressor of the last Argentine dictatorship", Perez Esquivel said.

Netanyahu said that his tour of Latin America is aimed at bolstering economic, security and technological ties between it and Israel.

Macri, who hosted Netanyahu at his Casa Rosada presidential palace, said the visit was "an important step" to improve commercial relations between their two countries.

The digital documents delivered by President Mauricio Macri include almost 140,000 secret files and photographs from 1939-1950.

The prime minister laid a wreath at Memory Plaza at the Israeli embassy, the site of a 1992 bombing that killed 29 and left 242 injured. But some relatives of victims of the 1994 bombing refused an invitation to the Netanyahu event.

"In these 23 years (since the bombing) Israel has been an observer, like any other country", and did not honestly help "search for the truth" behind the attack, she said.

People also plan to hold a protest in Buenos Aires on Tuesday, when Netanyahu is slated to meet Argentinean President Mauricio Macri.

Katz said Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's visit to the United States later this month, during which he will attend the United Nations General Assembly, would be critical in view of the North Korean nuclear crisis.
