Switzerland's government announced its intention to ban Hamas, following the Palestinian militant group's attacks in Israel on October 7 of last year, which resulted in nearly 1,200 deaths and ignited a war in Gaza. The Swiss Federal Council is moving to legislate the ban, designating Hamas as a terrorist organization, in efforts to halt any Hamas activities or support within the country, including banking and travel. This decision aligns with the European Union's previous classification of Hamas as a terrorist group, following the EU blacklisting Hamas. The announcement has sparked discussions on Switzerland's stance on neutrality.
