Argentine Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno praised statements from his Israeli counterpart Gideon Sa’ar, who acknowledged the sovereignty dispute over the Malvinas Islands between Argentina and the United Kingdom. Sa’ar distanced himself from an oil company planning operations in the South Atlantic and called for resolving the issue through dialogue.
Pablo Quirno, Argentina's foreign minister, welcomed Israel's acknowledgment of the territorial dispute with the United Kingdom over the Malvinas Islands. In his statements, Israeli Minister Gideon Sa’ar distanced himself from an oil company intending to operate in the South Atlantic, a sensitive area due to the sovereignty conflict.
Sa’ar stressed that the controversy should be resolved through dialogue, aligning with Argentina's preference for peaceful solutions. This stance from Israel offers notable diplomatic backing for Buenos Aires in its longstanding claim to the islands, administered by London since 1833.
The exchange took place amid rising tensions over extractive activities near the Malvinas, where Argentina upholds its inalienable claim. Quirno emphasized the importance of these remarks in bolstering bilateral and multilateral dialogue on the issue.
