Israel armed Argentina during the 1982 Falkland Islands conflict, according to Middle East Eye. The disclosure surfaces as diplomatic tensions between Britain and Israel sharpen, with the British government preparing to announce a series of measures targeting the occupied West Bank, including a potential ban on settlement goods.
The nature and scale of Israeli military assistance to Argentina remain undisclosed in available reports. The revelation underscores a previously obscured chapter in Cold War-era geopolitics, when Israel maintained strategic relationships across multiple continents. Britain's current policy shift toward the Palestinian territories has intensified friction with Israel, creating a backdrop for renewed scrutiny of historical military cooperation between Jerusalem and Buenos Aires.
