Conflict in the Middle East: Former Federal Councilor Dreifuss criticizes suspended Swiss aid

class=”sc-29f61514-0 dXbCZE”>

The NGOs promote peace and cooperation in civil society, Dreifuss said in an interview with “Switzerland at the Weekend” published on Saturday.

“Where else in the world than in the Middle East have so many people in such a tense situation worked for peace and human rights for so long and with concrete activities?” she asked. She described the Foreign Ministry’s decision as “beyond wrong.”

At the end of October, the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) stopped supporting six Palestinian and five Israeli NGOs. This was due to the new situation since Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7 and the resumption of hostilities, the report said.

The efforts of the organizations in the Middle East give her hope for a solution, according to Dreifuss. There must be a solution. “Whether it is with two states or with one state in which all people can live together, with mutual respect for their diversity,” said the former SP councilor. Israeli settlements have now literally blocked a two-state solution. The form of a unitary state has yet to be found.

Dreifuss was the first member of the Federal Council of Jewish descent. Especially in the current situation, politicians should not be reduced to their Jewish background, she said. “The war affects us all.” (SDA)
