Slovenia Bans Imports From Israeli Settlements
SLOVENIA, AUG 6 – Slovenia banned imports from Israeli settlements and arms trade while pledging nearly €880,000 in aid to Palestinians amid ongoing Gaza conflict, citing violations of international law.
- On August 6, 2025, Slovenia implemented a prohibition on importing products from Israeli settlements within Palestinian territories and authorized a humanitarian aid package to support Palestinians in Gaza.
- This followed Slovenia's recognition of Palestine as a sovereign state on June 6, 2024, and its prior designation of Israeli ministers persona non gratae two weeks before.
- Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob strongly criticized Israel for building illegal settlements, carrying out expropriations, forcibly displacing Palestinians, and demolishing Palestinian homes, describing these actions as serious breaches of international humanitarian law.
- Slovenia announced material aid worth up to 879,490 euros, and noted imports affected by the ban amounted to under 2,000 euros in 2023, signaling limited economic impact but strong political stance.
- Slovenia's measures include an arms embargo and banning circumventing import bans, underscoring its intent to support Palestinian sovereignty while urging EU action on Gaza's humanitarian crisis.
