Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed diplomats to support Argentina's claims over the Falkland Islands, marking Israel's first involvement in this dispute. This shift comes amid deteriorating relations with the UK, exacerbated by sanctions against Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Netanyahu's directive aligns with Argentina's ongoing conflict with Britain over the islands, which are officially a British overseas territory. The Israeli ambassador to the UN acknowledged the significance of this issue for the Argentine public, emphasizing the need for progress considering historical and legal aspects. The tensions have increased following announcements of Israeli oil drilling operations in the Falklands starting in 2028.
