Ljubljana - Saba:
Slovenia announced Thursday evening that it will ban all arms-related trade with Israel due to the war on the Gaza Strip, a move described as the first of its kind by a European Union country.

A statement issued by Prime Minister Robert Golube's office confirmed the decision, which he initiated during a government session held earlier Thursday.

Under the new decision, all weapons and military equipment sent from Slovenia to, imported from, or transited through Israel are prohibited.

This move comes amid growing criticism of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and as a result of the European Union's inability to take concrete action regarding Israel.
The statement added: "Due to internal disagreements and divisions, the European Union is currently unable to fulfill this task."

Earlier Thursday, the Slovenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Israeli ambassador to protest the dire humanitarian catastrophe caused by the restrictions on urgent humanitarian aid access to Gaza.
