Slovenia has announced a ban on imports of goods from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, describing the move as a symbolic measure to increase diplomatic pressure over the ongoing war in Gaza. The Slovenian government cited serious violations of international humanitarian law by Israel and emphasized its commitment to not supporting activities that undermine prospects for peace and a two-state solution. The government is also considering further measures, including a ban on exports to the settlements, and has already banned all weapons trade with Israel. Meanwhile, Norway's sovereign wealth fund is under scrutiny for its investments in Israeli companies linked to the conflict, with the government ordering a review to ensure compliance with ethical guidelines. The war in Gaza has resulted in tens of thousands of Palestinian deaths and a worsening humanitarian crisis, following the October 2023 attacks by Hamas and subsequent Israeli military operations.
