Israeli General Linked to Black Cube Visits Slovenia, Meets Ruling Party

The recent visits of retired Israeli Major General Giora Eiland to Slovenia have raised eyebrows, particularly given his connections to the intelligence firm Black Cube. Eiland, a figure who has previously reported on military operations, including the controversial Israeli raid on a Gaza aid flotilla, has made several trips to Ljubljana in recent months.

The fact that a figure with such a background is engaging with a major political party here demands attention and a clear explanation.
