Ultra Israeli Minister Ben Gvir asks Netanyahu to recognize the Falkland Islands as "occupied Argentine territory"

The Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, has publicly called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to recognize the Falkland Islands as 'Argentine territory occupied' by Britain. Ben Gvir, known for his far-right views, accused the UK of violently stealing from Argentina and conducting oil drilling in the area without authorization. He urged Netanyahu to support Argentina’s sovereignty claims and impose sanctions on Britain while the occupation continues. In response, Argentina announced plans to file a criminal complaint against several subsidiaries of the Israeli energy company Navitas for operating in the Falklands without legal permission. Argentina argues these companies hold licenses granted by the British government, which it considers illegitimate, thereby violating Argentine law. The Falklands have been a point of contention since their 1833 occupation by British forces, with Argentina maintaining its sovereignty claim despite the 1982 war ending in British victory.
