Slovenian government revokes entry ban on Netanyahu and eases Israel-related restrictions

Slovenia's newly formed government announced policy changes regarding Israel. The coalition voted to lift the entry ban that had prevented Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from entering the country. The decision also reverses several other restrictions that were imposed on Israeli officials and entities. The measures were originally introduced by the previous administration in response to diplomatic tensions. Lawmakers said the new stance reflects a shift toward normalizing relations with Israel. Critics argue the reversal may undermine Slovenia's stance on human‑rights concerns. The foreign ministry will issue updated travel guidelines for Israeli visitors. Observers will watch how the policy shift influences Slovenia's position in the EU debate on the Middle East.
