Zurich, Sep 5 (Alliance News): Switzerland has officially banned the Palestinian group Hamas, accusing it of terrorism.
According to international media reports, the Swiss government has approved a legal draft that enforces the ban, with penalties of imprisonment or fines for violations. This draft will soon be presented to the parliament for final approval.
Local media suggest that the Swiss Jewish organizations SIG and PLJS played a significant role in pushing the government toward this decision. Analysts believe that this move could impact Switzerland’s role as a mediator in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
