The Slovenian government has opted not to join South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice due to national security concerns. Prime Minister Robert Golob was initially supportive but was advised against participation by security officials, citing risks related to Slovenia's cyber defense systems and humanitarian operations in Gaza. Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon expressed regret over the decision. The context includes a tense election campaign marked by allegations of interference, with claims that an Israeli firm was involved in scandals affecting Golob's government.
