Switzerland's Parliament Votes 126-0 to Ban Hezbollah, Following Hamas Ban Last Week
Dec 17, 2024, 04:56 PM
Switzerland's parliament has officially voted to ban the Lebanese militia group Hezbollah, labeling it a paramilitary terrorist organization. The proposal passed overwhelmingly in the lower house with 126 votes in favor, despite some opposition from the government. This decision marks a significant shift for Switzerland, a country traditionally known for its neutrality and focus on international mediation. The ban comes just a week after the Swiss parliament approved a similar measure to prohibit Hamas activities within its borders. Proponents of the Hezbollah ban argue that the group poses a threat to international security, prompting the need for a firm stance against terrorism. The next step will involve the Federal Council drafting legislation to implement this ban.
