Slovenia has banned the import and export of all types of military equipment with Israel. This is the first time that any European Union country has taken such a strict decision against Tel Aviv. However, the country has no history of arms trade with Israel. Al Jazeera reports. Slovenia imposed the ban on Thursday (August 1). Basically, this small Central European country has protested against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Despite being one of the world’s largest arms exporters, Israel buys a large amount of weapons from other countries. Tel Aviv is largely dependent on Western allies for several military equipment, including fighter jets, automatic bombs and missiles. The United States is at the top of this list. Washington provides Israel with at least $3.8 billion in military aid every year. It is followed by European countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy. However, Slovenia, a small country in Central Europe, has taken a strong stance against the export of military weapons to Israel. Recently, the country has imposed a ban on the purchase and sale of all types of military weapons with Israel. No other country will be able to use its borders to provide arms support to Tel Aviv. Slovenia has no history of arms trade with Israel. Yet, it is the first country in the European Union to take such a bold step. Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golub confirmed that such a decision was taken in protest of the indiscriminate massacre in Gaza. This decision was taken to send a message to other European countries to stop arms support to Israel. Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golub said that the entry of aid into Gaza has been institutionally blocked. People in the Gaza Strip are dying due to lack of water, food and medical care. They are losing their lives under the rubble. Nevertheless, the European Union is failing to fulfill its responsibilities due to internal disagreements and lack of coordination. Last year, some countries, such as the United Kingdom, France, and Belgium, announced a limited arms embargo on Israel, but stopped short of a complete ban.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
