Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis faces accusations of complicity in alleged war crimes and genocide in Gaza, following a complaint filed with the International Criminal Court by a group of 25 lawyers. They criticize Switzerland’s increasing military exports to Israel and question the purpose of numerous Swiss Defense Ministry visits to Israel. The lawyers urge Cassis to adhere to international agreements, noting a public outcry for policy change, particularly toward military cooperation with Israel. They emphasize that while Hamas’s actions are condemned, similar condemnation of the Israeli military is lacking in Switzerland.
