(Swiss Info) The Security Policy Commission of the Senate (SIK-S) is also reacting to the attack on Israel and wants to ban the Palestinian militant organisation Hamas. It has submitted a corresponding motion.
The decision was made by 8 votes to 0, as the parliamentary services announced on Friday. The House of Representatives’ sister commission had previously unanimously submitted a corresponding motion. It has the same text. Last year, a ban on Hamas failed in the House of Representatives.
The proposals leave it open as to how the Federal Council should implement the Hamas ban.
