The Swiss government has announced a draft law to ban Hamas by the end of February 2024.
"The Federal Council decided to draft a federal act banning Hamas, considering this to be the most appropriate response to the situation that has prevailed in the Middle East since October 7," the government said in a statement.
"The act will provide the federal authorities with the necessary tools to counter any Hamas activities or support for the organisation in Switzerland."
