The Slovenian government, led by Janez Janša, has decided to cancel all measures taken by the previous government against Israel, including political and economic restrictions as well as the embargo on arms exports and imports between the two countries. In a joint statement from Slovenia’s Foreign and Defense Ministries, it was reported that the government canceled a series of decisions made during the tenure of Robert Golob’s government, including the declaration of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir as persona non grata, as well as the ban on importing products originating from settlements. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar welcomed the move and wrote on X: ‘Janša is a courageous leader and a true friend of Israel.’
