LJUBLJANA: Slovenia’s new conservative-led government on Thursday lifted an arms embargo on Israel and entry bans on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and two of his ministers. Last year, Slovenia, then under liberal prime minister Robert Golob, imposed measures against Israel over its war in Gaza. Several other EU members have done the same. But the government of Prime Minister Janez Jansa, which took office last week, overturned the bans against Netanyahu and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.
