RAMALLAH, August 7, 2025 (WAFA) – Palestine welcomed on Thursday Slovenia’s decision to ban all imports from Israeli colonies in the occupied territories.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates viewed the decision as a true expression of Slovenia’s commitment to international humanitarian law and rejection of Israeli violations against the Palestinian people, including the violations of colonialism, land grab, and forced expulsion.

It expressed gratitude to Slovenia for announcing a new aid package to the Gaza Strip, and regarded this announcement as reflective of Slovenia’s moral and humanitarian commitment and as a strong message that values and justice prevail over political interests.

It added that Palestine views Slovenia as a genuine partner engaged in the defense of international law and was looking forward to reinforcing cooperation to bring the Israeli occupation to an end and achieve just and lasting peace, which would enable the Palestinian people to attain their legitimate rights.

It urged the EU member states to follow suit by taking clear and courageous positions, as well as all states to adhere to international law and the UN resolutions, and take all the measures necessary to redress the historic injustice imposed upon the Palestinian people, so that Palestinians would live in security, peace, freedom and dignity.
