Swiss government advances bill to ban Hamas

The Swiss government has approved a draft law to ban Hamas, which it considers to be a “terrorist organization” and says anyone who violates the ban will be punished with a prison sentence or fine.

Under the new law, which must go to parliament, Hamas and successor groups as well as organizations and groups that act on behalf of or in the name of Hamas will be banned.
