According to Euronews, Argentina is set to file criminal charges against several companies linked to Israeli oil firm Navitas. The legal action is being taken because the firms are operating without authorisation in the Falklands, with the move coming as President Milei steps up his offensive against the Sea Lion project.

Alongside the criminal charges, the measures include new sanctions and steps designed to bolster territorial defence regarding the disputed islands. Meanwhile, the developments have also drawn international political attention, with Ben Gvir urging Netanyahu to back the Israeli firm's claim in the area.
