*Israel’s Ben Gvir Backs Argentina in Falkland Islands Dispute With Britain* National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has called on Israel to recognize Argentine sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, known in Argentina as the Malvinas, amid escalating tensions between Israel and Britain. Ben Gvir proposed the move in response to British measures targeting Israeli activity in Judea and Samaria. The dispute also has a direct Israeli business connection.
