The Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires announced the cancellation on Twitter, highlighting the violent threats made against Argentina's star player Lionel Messi.
Argentina forward Gonzalo Higuain told ESPN: "In the end, they've done right thing, and this is behind us."
"Health and common sense come first. We felt that it wasn't right to go."
With just a week to go before the World Cup, Argentina's final warm-up game was due to be played in West Jerusalem on Saturday.
It would have been just a few miles away from where 120 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces during recent protests.
The Palestinians had accused Israel of using the high-profile fixture to underpin their disputed claim to the holy city.
On Tuesday, Palestinians were filmed burning replica shirts of Messi after a request made by their Head of FA Jibril Rajoub.
Today, Israel has blamed the Palestinians for pressurising Argentina into cancelling the match.
