Slovenia’s government removes a previously imposed restriction on weapons trade with Israel, according to the country’s Defence Ministry. The ministry says the ban, which dates to 2025 and was introduced in July, is no longer necessary. It previously covered the export and transit of weapons and military equipment to Israel, as well as most arms imports from Israel.
The Defence Ministry states that arms trade already falls under existing frameworks, including Slovenia’s national legislation and relevant European Union rules. As a result, the government decision revokes the 2025 restriction rather than creating a new policy.
The development is presented as an administrative change to align the ban with current legal oversight. No details are provided in the reporting on whether specific authorizations, transactions, or quantities are affected; the focus is on the removal of the blanket prohibition and reliance on existing legal controls.
