Slovenia revokes a previously imposed ban on weapons and military equipment trade with Israel, according to the country’s Defence Ministry. The measure, introduced in July 2025, covered the export and transit of weapons and military equipment to Israel and also most arms imports from Israel. The ministry says the ban is no longer necessary because existing national legislation and European Union rules already regulate arms trade. By removing the restriction, Slovenia returns decision-making in this area to the standard legal framework rather than a special, Israel-specific prohibition. The Defence Ministry statement indicates that the earlier ban was reassessed and concluded to be redundant under current regulatory mechanisms. Reuters and the Jerusalem Post both report the same core details: the ban’s scope (exports, transit, and most imports), that it was enacted in July 2025, and that it is now lifted following the ministry’s assessment that other laws and EU regulations govern arms transactions. No additional changes to Slovenian arms policy or timelines beyond the lift are described in the provided accounts.
