Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed Israeli diplomats to support Argentina's bid for negotiations with the United Kingdom concerning the Falkland Islands, according to a British newspaper report. The directive reportedly stems from a desire to foster stronger ties with Argentina's newly elected president, who has shown friendliness towards Israel, and potentially in response to British sanctions targeting Judea and Samaria.
The British newspaper "The Times" revealed that Israel's Foreign Ministry was informed of the prime minister's directive. The report highlights that this move comes amid a backdrop of escalating tensions over sanctions imposed by the UK on Israeli companies operating in Judea and Samaria, and also in light of the friendly relations between Netanyahu and Argentinian President.
An Israeli oil company is at the center of the dispute over the Falkland Islands, a British overseas territory claimed by Argentina. The specifics of the company's involvement and the exact nature of the sanctions remain unclear from the report. The directive signifies a notable shift in Israel's foreign policy, potentially aligning it with Argentina on a sensitive geopolitical issue.
