Don't hold up the line. Nothing to see here, right? Just a coincidence that they both have the same (UNUSUAL) surname in their ancestral backgrounds.

Let's start with the fact that has perhaps aroused the most interest on social networks and discussion forums: the change of surname. Benjamin Netanyahu, born Benyamin Mileikowsky in Tel Aviv, is the son of Benzion Mileikowsky, a Polish academic who emigrated to Palestine in the 20s and decided to Hebraize his surname, adopting Netanyahu. This act reflects a common practice in Israel, where many immigrants changed their surnames to better integrate into the new society and culture.

For his part, Javier Milei, recognized for his flamboyant character and provocative style, carries the surname Mileikowsky through his paternal line. Although there is no direct family relationship between them, this curious fact has generated speculation and comparisons between both characters.
