President Javier Milei will have his last day in New York this Thursday, where he will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and participate in a lunch at the influential Economic Club.
The meeting with Netanyahu will focus on the Middle East crisis and the strategic relationship between Argentina and Israel. Additionally, Milei may address the situation of Navitas Petroleum, the Israeli company involved in oil exploration in the Falkland Islands.
Navitas is the main operator of the Sea Lion project, located in the northern basin of the islands, with a 65% stake. The remaining 35% belongs to the British company Rockhopper Exploration. Argentina considers the exploitation of its natural resources in the territory occupied by the United Kingdom to be illegal.
When asked if Milei would raise the issue with Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno replied that he did not know and emphasized that it is a private conversation between the two leaders.
