Israel’s National Security Minister backs Argentina’s sovereignty over the Malvinas

Itamar Ben-Gvir posted on X that Prime Minister Netanyahu should ‘publicly recognize that the Malvinas are occupied Argentine territory’ La entrada Israel’s National Security Minister backs Argentina’s sovereignty over the Malvinas se publicó primero en Buenos Aires Herald .

Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to acknowledge Argentina's sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands and impose sanctions on the United Kingdom as long as occupation persists. Ben-Gvir's call for recognition and sanctions was shared on his official X account on Monday. Should Netanyahu's government comply with the request, Israel would shift its diplomatic stance and formally support Argentina's claim to the Malvinas Islands' sovereignty.

This move could bolster Argentina's diplomatic efforts at international platforms such as the United Nations. In his message, Ben-Gvir stated, "It's time for the State of Israel to publicly recognize that the Malvinas Islands are Argentine territory under occupation, which the British are violently stealing from the Argentine people."

He further added, "The British are not content with merely occupying the territory; they also carry out oil drilling there and steal money from the Argentine people."
