The Israeli government intends to support Argentina's demand for negotiations regarding the status of the Falkland Islands, according to a report by The Telegraph. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly instructed diplomatic bodies to adjust the state's official stance and join Buenos Aires' calls for direct talks on the archipelago's ownership. This move is reportedly a response to London's decision to impose sanctions on Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria. Sources in Jerusalem indicate that the text of a relevant statement has been approved at the highest level. Relations between Israel and the United Kingdom have recently deteriorated significantly, leading to a reduction in diplomatic representation and the expulsion of most staff from the British consulate. The dispute over sovereignty of the Falkland Islands has been ongoing between Argentina and the UK for decades. Argentina's president has recently intensified claims to the archipelago and announced stricter sanctions against companies involved in oil extraction near the islands. London has maintained that its position on Falklands sovereignty remains unchanged.
