Argentina takes Israeli oil company Navitas to court for operating in the Maldives

SIC Notícias8 September 2026 at 07:54

Argentina filed a lawsuit against Israeli oil company Navitas, accusing it of operating in the Malvinas/Falkland Islands. This action comes in the context of an announcement made by Argentine President Javier Milei last Thursday regarding sanctions against oil companies.

Milei announced the intention to accelerate and toughen sanctions against oil companies operating in the Malvinas/Falkland Islands under licenses granted by the local island government. This position reflects Argentina's ongoing stance in the territorial dispute over the Malvinas/Falkland Islands.

The lawsuit against Navitas is part of a broader strategy by the Argentine government to pressure companies carrying out oil activities in territories that Buenos Aires considers illegitimate under its jurisdiction.
