Switzerland will enforce a new law banning Hamas and related organisations on May 15.
The government said the law is aimed at preventing the use of the country as a financial hub, adding that it was initially approved in December.
The law, it added, would give Swiss authorities “the necessary tools to take action against Hamas activities or support for the organisation in Switzerland”. It will also permit preventive police measures, including entry bans or expulsions.
