Slovenia Approves Pro-Israel Jansa Government, Signaling Policy Shift
by Stefan J. Bos, Worthy News Europe Bureau Chief
LJUBLJANA/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – Slovenia entered a new political era this weekend after parliament approved a center-right government led by pro-Israel Prime Minister Janez Jansa, a move expected to reverse several Middle East policies adopted by the previous administration.
Lawmakers backed Jansa’s 15-member cabinet by 49 votes to 30. Most ministers are from his SDS party, with others drawn from coalition partners NSi, Democrats, and Focus.
The five-party coalition controls 43 seats in Slovenia’s 90-member parliament and is supported by the right-wing Resnica party as well as lawmakers representing national minorities.
Jansa, a conservative populist viewed as an ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, pledged tax cuts, targeted spending, an anti-corruption drive, and greater powers for local governments.
The government takes office after months of political uncertainty following an inconclusive March election. Golob’s party won the vote by a narrow margin but was unable to assemble a governing majority, paving the way for Jansa to return for a fourth term as prime minister.
FOREIGN POLICY CHANGES EXPECTED
The new government is expected to shift Slovenia’s foreign policy away from that of former Prime Minister Robert Golob’s liberal administration.
Golob’s government recognized a Palestinian state and imposed travel bans on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and two Israeli ministers, moves that drew international attention.
Analysts expect Jansa’s administration to pursue closer ties with Israel and adopt a more conservative approach on international affairs.
In a speech to parliament, Jansa said his government would represent all Slovenians and invited opposition parties to cooperate on key legislation.
“A hand is offered,” he told lawmakers. “But it takes two to cooperate.”
