Slovenia has banned arms exports, imports and transit to Israel, becoming the first European country to do so.

The Slovenian government, led by Prime Minister Robert Golob, has announced an arms embargo on Israel, accusing the EU of inaction over the Gaza conflict. Slovenia banned two Israeli ministers, holding them responsible for inciting violence and human rights violations. The decision underlines Slovenia's commitment to act responsibly in the face of the humanitarian situation in the region, after recognizing Palestine as a state in June 2024.
