Slovenia on Friday became the first European country to ban weapons trading with Israel over the growing humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian enclave in Israel's ongoing war.

Slovenia has become the first country in the European Union to ban all weapons trade with Israel over its war on Gaza. The announcement comes two weeks after the Central European nation declared Israeli ministers persona non grata, the state news agency STA reported.

Slovenia imposes a weapons ban on the export, import, and transit of arms to and from Israel, becoming the first EU country to do so.
