Slovenia U-turns on Arms Export Ban to Israel

Slovenia's government has rescinded its previous decision to ban the export and transit of weapons and military equipment to Israel. This reversal also affects the import of most arms from Israel, as confirmed by the Defence Ministry on Thursday.

The Slovenian government has overturned a 2025 decision that prohibited the export and transit of military equipment to Israel. This notable change was announced by the Defence Ministry on Thursday.

As part of the decision, the ban on most arms imports from Israel will also be lifted, potentially reshaping military partnerships.

The rationale behind the revocation remains undisclosed, but it signals a shift in Slovenia's defense policy and international diplomatic posture.
