Slovenia bans arms trade with Israel

The Slovenian government has banned the export, import and transit of military equipment to and from Israel. Other European countries have reduced but not stopped their arms sales.
In the absence of a consensus at European level, Slovenia is going it alone, Euronews reported.

On Thursday, it became the first EU country to ban all arms trade with Israel, including transit and imports.

In a press release, the Slovenian government explicitly outlined its concerns about the humanitarian situation in Gaza and denounced the EU's inability to adopt such a measure because of "internal disagreements."
