Slovenia becomes first EU country to ban arms trade with "Israel" over Gaza war

Slovenia said Thursday that it would ban all weapons trade with "Israel" over its war in Gaza, in what it said was a first by an EU nation.

"Slovenia is the first European country to ban the import, export and transit of weapons to and from Israel," the government said in a statement, adding that it was acting independently because the bloc was "unable to adopt concrete measures" as it had requested.
