Slovenia's new government lifts arms embargo on Israel, reverses bans on Netanyahu

Primary source Internal intake · 1 reviewed intake signal · Desk window 21:03

TL;DR

Slovenia's new right-wing government has lifted the arms embargo on Israel imposed by the previous administration, removed entry restrictions on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli ministers, and reversed several anti-Israel measures, according to Israeli media reports.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The new right-wing government in Slovenia has made a decisive break with the previous administration's policy toward Israel, lifting the arms embargo, removing the "persona non grata" designations on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, and canceling a ban on imports from Judea and Samaria.

This shift follows a series of moves since the new government took office, including removing the Palestinian flag from the state building, approving Israir flights, and Prime Minister Janez Janša becoming the first EU leader to use the term "Judea and Samaria." The government has also signaled it intends to move its embassy to Jerusalem, as The Zioneer previously reported.

The full scope of all reversed measures is not yet independently confirmed, and the report originates from a single source this evening. However, the series of policy reversals aligns with the new administration's expressed pro-Israel orientation.
