Israel Backs Argentina’s Call for Falklands Talks With Britain

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed his country’s diplomats to shift Israel’s position on the Falkland Islands dispute, according to a British press report published Saturday.

The reported directive aligns Israel with Argentina’s call for direct negotiations with Britain over the islands’ future.

The move concerns support for talks between the two sides. The report does not establish that Israel has formally recognized Argentine sovereignty over the islands.

Netanyahu’s instructions signal a change in Israel’s diplomatic approach to the dispute, putting it behind Argentina’s push to bring the issue to the negotiating table.
