Falklands: After Netanyahu's son backs Argentina sovereignty, Trump hints US may review UK's claim

The son of Israel's Prime Minister, Yair Netanyahu, has backed Argentina's claim over the Falkland Islands, stating that the territory belongs to Buenos Aires. This comes after US President Donald Trump hinted that Washington might reconsider its position on British sovereignty over the islands. The Falkland Islands, known as Islas Malvinas to Argentinians, have been a point of contention between the UK and Argentina since a war between the two countries in 1982.

Despite the overwhelming majority of the islands' 3,600 residents favoring British rule, Argentina and the UK both claim sovereignty over the archipelago. Yair, a 35-year-old political activist, made his comments on Twitter, expressing his support for Argentina and criticizing the UK's government. His statements have drawn backlash from some sections of Britain's pro-Israel community, who have accused him of confusing the British government with Israel's supporters.
