Ben Gvir Declares Falklands Argentine
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called on the government to publicly recognize Argentina's sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, which Buenos Aires refers to as the "Malvinas," and to impose sanctions on Britain until the end of what he described as the British "occupation" of the islands. He added that Britain is forcefully occupying the islands and conducting oil exploration there, urging Israel to support Argentina's sovereignty over the islands. This stance comes amid escalating tensions between Argentina and Britain, as Argentine President Javier Milei announced plans to strengthen sanctions on companies and increase military presence to reclaim sovereignty over the archipelago, which has been under British control since 1833. The Argentine public's reaction to their team’s victory in the 2026 World Cup included protests, where players held a banner demanding Argentina's sovereignty over the islands, provoking anger in Britain and prompting an investigation by FIFA.
