Israel is right to support Britain-Argentina talks over Falkland Islands - editorial
The Jerusalem Post supports a carefully defined Israeli call for peaceful dialogue. Argentina deserves a fair hearing. The Falklanders deserve control over their future.
Israel's support for Britain-Argentina talks over the Falkland Islands is a defensible stance, according to the Jerusalem Post. Ambassador Danny Danon's call for negotiations at the United Nations deserves qualified support, even though the Israeli embassy in London denied that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had ordered a policy shift.
Israel has a legitimate interest in taking Argentina's concerns seriously, and peaceful negotiations have an established international framework. The relationship between Israel and Argentina is one of mutual support, and Israel should welcome solidarity on its own concerns while showing interest in its partner's priorities. Supporting a peaceful process on an issue important to Argentina offers such an opportunity and signals to other friendly governments that Jerusalem takes their concerns seriously.
