Slovenia's new coalition lifts entry ban on Netanyahu and eases Israel restrictions

Slovenia's recently installed coalition government announced a policy shift toward Israel. The new administration revoked the entry ban that had barred Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from entering the country. The ban had been imposed by the previous government as part of broader measures against Israel. Alongside the ban, other restrictions targeting Israeli officials were also lifted. Officials said the changes reflect a reassessment of Slovenia's foreign‑policy stance. The move is expected to improve diplomatic relations between Ljubljana and Jerusalem. European observers note the decision could influence broader EU discussions on Israel. The government has not detailed any further steps regarding bilateral cooperation.
