(Swiss Info) The House of Representatives has followed the Senate in supporting a government proposal to classify Hamas as a terrorist group.
On Tuesday, the House of Representatives tacitly adopted a committee motion calling for the Islamist organisation to be declared a terrorist group. Switzerland must adopt a clear position following the inhumane attacks and war crimes committed by Hamas on October 7, said parliamentarian Fabien Fivaz on behalf of the committee. He wanted Hamas to be banned in Switzerland. That way, its financial flows can be cut off.
