Benjamin Netanyahu has told Israeli diplomats to back Argentina's call for direct talks with Britain over the Falkland Islands, according to a Telegraph report. The shift recognises Argentina's historical link to the islands but stops short of supporting its sovereignty claim. It follows Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband's sanctions on Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which sparked a row that saw Britain's Jerusalem consulate downgraded.
