Slovenian intelligence investigations indicated that an electronic disinformation campaign using deepfake techniques and artificial intelligence targeted the ruling liberal party at the time.

According to the investigations, the campaign was attributed to a private Israeli intelligence company, in coordination with forces from the right-wing opposition.

Despite the liberal party topping the election results, its inability to form a government coalition allowed right-wing leader Janez Janša to form the government and assume the premiership in May 2026.

The new Slovenian Prime Minister plans to repair ties between Ljubljana and Jerusalem and relocate the Slovenian embassy from Tel Aviv to the capital of Israel. Jansa revealed this in an exclusive interview with Israel Hayom over the weekend.

He also promised to reverse the previous government’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state, something Jansa said is in violation of Slovenian law.
