Slovenia has imposed a travel ban on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, effectively declaring him persona non grata. This move follows a similar ban on two far-right Israeli cabinet ministers in July. The travel ban is part of Slovenia's broader stance against Israel's actions in the occupied Palestinian territories, including an arms embargo imposed in August and a ban on imports from those territories. Slovenia cited ongoing proceedings against Netanyahu for war crimes and crimes against humanity, referencing rulings by international courts and UN reports describing Israel's conduct in Gaza as genocidal. This is the first such sanction by an EU member state against Netanyahu.
