Israel to open embassy in Slovenia as relations thaw
Israel’s foreign minister will open the embassy as Slovenia reverses an arms embargo, settlement-import ban and entry bans on three Israeli officials.
- On Wednesday, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar will inaugurate Israel's first embassy in Ljubljana, marking a diplomatic reset under Prime Minister Janez Jansa.
- Under Jansa, Slovenia has reversed its own ban on West Bank settlement imports and lifted entry restrictions on Netanyahu, claiming he is 'only normalising Slovenia's foreign policy and fixing the damage.'
- A poll conducted by the daily newspaper Delo in June found 56 percent of Slovenians opposed closer ties with Israel, while 14 percent supported them; several rights groups have announced protests against the inauguration.
- Robert Golob's party alleged the embassy is 'a return of the favour' for Israeli support during the March election, citing foreign interference claims involving Black Cube.
- Former President Danilo Turk warned Slovenia has 'become an instrument of Israeli policy,' while commentators compare Jansa to Hungary's Viktor Orban, serving 'as the US-Israel's Trojan horse' in the European Union.
