Slovenia announced its decision on Thursday to prohibit all weapons trade with "Israel" due to its ongoing war in Gaza, marking what the country described as the first such move by an EU nation.

In a statement, the Slovenian government said it adopted a decision banning the export and transit of military weapons and equipment from or through the Republic of Slovenia to “Israel", as well as imports from “Israel” into the Republic of Slovenia.

It added that "Slovenia is the first European country" to make such a decision of full ban, noting that it was taking this step unilaterally since the EU had not been "unable to adopt concrete measures" as Slovenia had previously urged.

Slovenia previously warned that it would take independent action, in coordination with like-minded countries, should the European Union fail to implement substantial measures within two weeks to tackle the escalating humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip.

It blamed the countries' inaction for the "shameful result" as "people in Gaza are dying because humanitarian aid is being systematically obstructed."

The Central European country described the unfolding dire situation in Gaza, stating, "They are dying beneath the rubble, without access to drinking water, food, or basic medical care. This is a complete denial of humanitarian access and a deliberate prevention of the basic conditions necessary for survival."

"In such circumstances, it is the duty of every responsible state to act—even if it means taking a step ahead of others," it asserted. 

During his address at the June 28 EU summit in Brussels, Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob expressed increasing dissatisfaction with what he characterized as a disjointed European approach, while alleging that some member states were prioritizing their internal political considerations over the protection of Palestinian rights.

On June 6, 2024, the majority of the Slovenian Parliament voted to recognize the state of Palestine as an independent, sovereign state, a move mirroring actions taken by Spain, Ireland, and Norway at the time.
