A report in The Jerusalem Post noted that the policy shift attributed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not go so far as to formally back Argentina's claim over the Falkland Islands. However, the report stated that the move raises concerns that Israel could take such a step in the future if the United Kingdom imposes additional sanctions on settlements.

Meanwhile, financial daily Calcalist reported that Israel's diplomatic posturing toward Britain over the islands could adversely affect the company Navitas. Further details have not yet been released.
