> Yair Netanyahu, son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has endorsed Argentina’s claim to the British-controlled Falkland Islands and accused the UK government of hypocrisy and hostility toward Israel. His comments have triggered criticism from British right-wing figures, including Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe, who said the islands would remain British and defended that position if necessary by force.
