Slovenia has reportedly become the first EU country to ban Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from entering the country.
The move follows an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court over alleged war crimes related to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. As an ICC member state, Slovenia would be legally required to detain Netanyahu if he entered the country.
The decision marks a major diplomatic escalation — and could put pressure on other European nations to clarify whether they would enforce the same warrant.
