Slovenia has become the first country in the European Union to ban all weapons trade with Israel over its war on Gaza.
The move by the government comes two weeks after the Central European nation declared Israeli ministers persona non grata. The arms embargo was announced by Prime Minister Robert Golob after a government session on Thursday. ***
Amid the devastating war in Gaza, where “people … are dying because humanitarian aid is systematically denied them”, it was the “duty of every responsible state to take action, even if it means taking a step ahead of others”, the statement said.
It added that the government had not issued any permits for the export of military weapons and equipment to Israel since October 2023 because of the conflict.
Early in July, Slovenia – also in an EU first – banned two far-right Israeli ministers from entering the country. *** In June 2024, Slovenia’s parliament passed a decree recognising Palestinian statehood, following in the steps of Ireland, Norway and Spain, in moves partly spurred by condemnation of Israel’s bombing of Gaza.
Last week, France, the United Kingdom and Canada also announced they may recognise a Palestinian state. Israel decried these announcements, saying they were a way of rewarding Hamas for its October 7, 2023 assault on Israeli territory.
Israel has been waging a nearly 22-month war in Gaza that human rights groups and United Nations experts have compared to a genocide. More than 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s military campaign, with more at risk of dying from hunger as a result of Israel’s blockade of the territory.
Several countries, including South Africa, have also brought cases before the International Court of Justice alleging that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

The islamic states of Europe
When Germany hops on this bandwagon it will be significant.
Oh noes! What is Israel going to do without access to state of the art Slovenian anti-aircraft systems, stealth fighters and tanks?
Watching the TDF, there were many waving flags of islam.
When Germany hops on this bandwagon it will be significant.
Also, France and possibly the UK
Last week, French President Emmanuel Macron, in a letter shared on X, assured Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas that France plans to recognize a Palestinian state.
Many of the countries in Europe are sold out (by their very own Ruling Elites) the Islamic invasion and are being adsorbed into the new Moslem- controlled caliphate (religious empire). It is so sad to have to watch the destruction of what may well have been the finest few moments in human history but , alas, savage aggression and bigotry (against Christians and Jews, and everyone else who isn’t Muslim) is the next 1,000 years
“Slovenia has become the first country in the European Union to ban all weapons trade with Israel over its war on Gaza.”
“it’s”: This is not Israel’s war. This is hamass’s war. They started it with an orgy of war crimes and they refuse to surrender.
“on”: This is not a war against gaza. It is a war against hamass.
Sounds like Slowvenia has gone full Muzzie Terrorist.
It would surely put Europe in a pickle.
Hamas are NOT human. Period.
Hamas is International Islamist Terrorism. They openly admit their final goal is to Destroy all Jews and all of the USA.
Still more Globalist insanity defending Hamas.
If the descendants of Lyenko Urbanchich don’t want to buy Israeli equipment, then they are robbing themselves of the Spike and Spike LR anti-tank missiles, leaving them with none. I guess they also don’t want spare parts for the howitzers, mortars, and EL/M-2106 radar. I hope they enjoy soviet garbage in storage.
