The Israeli consul in Buenos Aires in 1992 recalled how much the embassy attack had occurred

Since the attack of the Israeli Embbady in Buenos Aires, "they spent twenty-seven years not to get away from this horrible day" and "chronological distance does not mitigate the pain" provoked by this attack which was also an attack against Argentina.

Sometimes, holding the emotion, or removing the tears, the one who spoke like that was Daniel Carmon, who, on March 17, 1992, was consul and administrative head of the Israeli embbady in Buenos Aires.

Today 's expressing during an intimate ceremony commemorating the new anniversary of the attack, which took place in the residence of the ambbadador of. Argentina in Israel, Mariano Caucino, in Hertzlia, in the northern suburbs of Tel Aviv, Carmon recalled sounds, screams, sadness, and also political and diplomatic post-attack details.

Then, in conversation with InfobaeThe ambbadador, now retired, added details and did not hesitate to comment on the investigation into the attack and the recent arrest of two Iranians who entered Argentina with fake Israeli pbadports.

"Until the culprits are found and judged, both on the Middle East side and on the local side, because there was very likely a local connection without which the attack could not have been conducted; until that happens, there will be no justice and we will not be able to rest. "said Carmon.

"Twenty-seven years later," he said, "we are not weaker" in this research.

Carmon – who until recently was Israel's ambbadador to India – said "understand that relations with Argentina, which have always been good, are now much better", which should serve as "base to solve this horrible and sad attack against Israel and Argentina".

Regarding the detention of the Iranians, Carmon chose not to speculate and wait for the investigation to advance in Buenos Aires, although he considered the events "intriguing" and "sounding".

"Was the presence of the Iranians linked to the anniversary of the attack? And if they were there for other reasons, why did they need Israeli pbadports?he asked.

In any case, "I must congratulate the Argentine authorities for their vigilance and arrest," he said.

Carmon was 41 when the terrorist attack reached him at the embbady. He was settled in Buenos Aires with his wife Eliora and their five children. Eliora is one of the victims of the attack.

The day had begun like another, a routine day at the diplomatic headquarters. "And suddenly, a boom that I do not even remember hearing," Carmon said. Infobae.

"What I heard was an astonishing silence as the rubble fell, a noiseless scene," he continued, "and then, after a few minutes, I'm going to see you again." I heard the sound of people running. "

A few days later, he woke up in a hospital in Buenos Aires, where two colleagues came to visit him and tell him that his wife was dead. And ask him if he would tell his children. He answered yes.
A few days later, he flew to Israel, stayed there for twenty-eight days, including the seven days of "shiva", the period of mourning established by the Jewish religion, then returned to Buenos Aires , where he worked for three years at the embbady, ​​in different positions.

Today, in the residence of the Argentine ambbadador, Carmon recalled his story to several Latin American ambbadadors and Israeli diplomats. The meeting seemed to be a collective catharsis of officials to varying degrees affected by the global phenomenon of terrorism.

The story of Carmon was heard in silence. "It was supposed to be a normal day, it was about to start in the fall, a very sweet day that only Buenos Aires usually offers,We had our plans, which included a dinner for 25 people at home, with a major visitor from Israel. "Carmon said.

After the explosion, "we were very lucky with Fanny, the head of the" Embbady "counters and the architect who was doing the spare parts" at the diplomatic headquarters, did he admits. "We were looking at the expense accounts" of these arrangements, he said. "If there had not been this meeting, we would have been in another part of the embbady, ​​a section where no one survived the blast."

"Fanny, who was slightly injured, took me outside.Another thing that I remember, was being thrown into a van that was m …" took her to the hospital, "said Carmon, who temporarily lost her vision because of troubles.

After recalling the hours and days that surrounded the attack, he said: "Twenty-seven years have pbaded without departing from this horrible day, the chronological distance does not diminish the pain."

"I look at my five children, I see what happened during those twenty-seven years, how boys became adults and formed their own families, and we think that those who are no longer with us have been lost, who could not see what happened to their children and to Israel "said the diplomat.

And he did not avoid more political definitions, baduring that, in this attack, "Israel was attacked, and also Argentina was attacked, both during the bombings of 1992 and 1994 against AMIA. "

"Some people try to distance the two attacks fromwhen both share elements and authors and ideologues ", he said, but "we should consider both as a continuity".

"And the role of Iran is something that we can neither forget nor forgive," concluded Carmon, in sync with Modi Ephraim, the current deputy director general of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the 39 Latin America, according to which "we all know that the decision (to attack Buenos Aires) was taken in Tehran".

Before, Ephraim had emphasized that between Argentina and Israel, there was now "an approach after so many dark years, with problems".

"We have to work together to avoid another tragedy, like the one we will never forget, like the one that happened in Arroyo Street," Ephraim asked.
