The Federal Council wants another 90 million euros for aid in the Middle East

The Federal Council asks Parliament to make a further 90 million euros available for humanitarian aid in the Middle East. He wants to use the money to support the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and the UN in Israel, the Palestinian territories and neighboring countries.

The international non-governmental organizations working there that are involved in the humanitarian sector will also receive money, the Federal Council announced on Wednesday. He writes that the humanitarian situation in this region is “extremely worrying.” The situation in the Gaza Strip is ‘catastrophic’.

The Federal Council goes on to say that it recognizes Israel’s right to self-defense and security. He recalled that both sides have an obligation to protect the civilian population and respect international humanitarian law.

Humanitarian ceasefires are necessary to enable access to aid supplies and supplies to the population. The conflict in the Middle East threatens to destabilize the entire region. The number of people in need will likely continue to rise. (SDA)

The Federal Council wants to raise more money for humanitarian aid in Israel, the occupied Palestinian territories and affected neighboring countries. He asks Parliament to allocate a further 90 million francs to support the region.

“The funds are primarily intended for the Red Cross and Red Crescent, the UN and international non-governmental organizations working in the humanitarian sector,” the press release said. These organizations would provide protection and shelter to people affected by conflict and provide them with basic food, medicine and
Provide hygiene items.

Criticism according to UN resolution

Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis (62) was in the spotlight this week: Switzerland approved a resolution in the UN General Assembly calling for an immediate ‘humanitarian ceasefire’ in the newly flaring conflict in the Central -East.

After Hamas attacks, Israel is no longer allowed to carry out military operations. Not a word condemns Hamas’ terror. Of all places, neutral Switzerland – in consultation with Cassis – sided with the Israeli critics.

Clear words

The foreign policy experts of the Council of States complain that the decision to support the resolution was taken solely by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs – and that neither the entire Federal Council nor the national committees and committees of the Council of States were involved in this.

Now the Federal Council finds clear words in the press release. He condemned the act of terrorism and called for the immediate release of all hostages. “It recognizes Israel’s right to self-defense and security and recalls that all parties must comply with international humanitarian law.” (brother)
