Tanja Fajon, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, stated that the Slovenian government announced today, Thursday, that the Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, and the Minister of Finance, Avigdor Lieberman, are persona non grata.
Slovenia thus became the first country in the European Union to take such a decision.
This step comes after the failure of foreign ministers of EU member states to agree on a joint action against Israel due to human rights violations at their meeting in Brussels on Tuesday, prompting countries to take individual measures.
