Israel’s Channel 12 reported that Milei, a devoted supporter of the occupying regime, took the decision after learning of the Israeli plan for oil drilling near the disputed Malvinas Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean, which are also known as the Falklands to the British.

Valued at $1.8 billion, the project is expected to begin in the coming weeks with the Israeli company Navitas aiming to produce 32,000 barrels of oil per day.

Argentine officials warned that the drilling project could damage relations between Tel Aviv and Buenos Aires, which have improved under Milei’s presidency.

Milei has openly praised Israel’s acts of aggression, including the genocidal war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

    Milei is the west’s and therefore Israel’s lapdog and not even he wants to open up that can of bees.

    On the other hand, not having sovereignty and permission was never an issue for Israel.

      Except the real issue is that it’s his perceived sovereignty (I actually kinda think the Falklands are rightfully Britain’s, but I also don’t care that much)
