New: Netanyahu ordered Israel to change its position on the Falkland Islands in favor of Argentina, following British sanctions on Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

Israeli diplomats were instructed to support direct negotiations between Britain and Argentina on the future of the islands and to recognize Argentina's "historic connection" to the territory.

The move stops short of officially confirming Argentina's claim to sovereignty but signals a deterioration in relations between Israel and Britain.
