Argentina has declared the Palestinian Islamist group&nbsp;Hamas&nbsp;an "international terrorist organization" over its October 7 assault on Israel and an "extensive history" of attacks, the presidency announced.

"The&nbsp;Hamas&nbsp;group has been declared by the Argentine state as an international terrorist organization," the office of libertarian President Javier Milei said in a statement Friday night, citing "an extensive record of terrorist attacks on their behalf."

The statement added that Milei, who has presented himself as a close ally of Israel, "has an unwavering commitment to recognize terrorists for what they are."

The October 7&nbsp;Hamas&nbsp;attack on southern Israel resulted in 1,195 deaths, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli figures. The militants also took 251 hostages, 116 of whom remain in Gaza, including 42 the military says are dead.&nbsp;

Israel responded with a military offensive that has killed at least 38,345 people in Gaza, also mostly civilians, according to the health ministry in the&nbsp;Hamas-ruled territory.

The European Union and the United States also consider&nbsp;Hamas&nbsp;a terrorist organization.&nbsp;

Milei visited Israel in February,&nbsp;where he made waves by likening&nbsp;Hamas's attack to the Holocaust and announced plans to move the Argentinian embassy to Jerusalem.

The president grew up Catholic but has displayed an enthusiasm for orthodox Jewish thought, regularly consulting with a rabbi and describing himself last year as a "Torah scholar".

His staunch support for Israel has sparked fears that Argentina's Jewish community could be&nbsp;vulnerable to attack.

Argentina has the largest Jewish community in Latin America, with some 300,000 members.&nbsp;It is also home to immigrant communities from the Middle East -- from Syria and Lebanon in particular.

Milei's office also condemned&nbsp;Hamas's "link" with Iran.

In April, Argentina expressed its "solidarity and unwavering commitment" to Israel following an Iranian strike targeting Israel.
