Pars Today – Following escalating tensions between Argentina’s President Javier Milei and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Argentina has suspended its plan to relocate its embassy from Tel Aviv to occupied a-Quds
The tensions arose after an Israeli company announced plans to begin oil and gas exploration in the Malvinas Islands in 2028—an action Argentina opposes, viewing it as a violation of its sovereignty over the islands. Hebrew sources report that after weeks of increasing diplomatic disagreements with Tel Aviv, the Argentine government decided to halt steps toward moving its embassy to occupied a-Quds. / ISNA
