Slovenia imposes travel ban on Netanyahu, an EU first

SUMMARY

Slovenia banned Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu from entry on September 25, 2025, the first EU nation to target Israel’s leader, citing an ICC warrant for Gaza war crimes. This extends July 2025 bans on ministers Ben-Gvir and Smotrich for inciting violence.

Slovenia recognized Palestine in 2024, imposed an arms embargo on Israel, and banned imports from Palestinian territories in August 2025, targeting settlements. The bans align with sanctions by Australia, Canada, and others. Foreign Minister Fajon said the measures aim to stop civilian suffering in Gaza.
