Explainer: Switzerland and the recognition of Palestine
This content was published on
On Wednesday Ireland, Spain and Norway said they would recognise a Palestinian state. What are the chances of Switzerland following suit?
Furthermore, the communiqué states that Switzerland considers the recognition of a Palestinian state to be one of the prerequisites for a lasting peace based on the two-state solution.
Recognition could be considered if concrete steps were taken to implement it, guaranteeing both the security of Israel and the right to self-determination of the Palestinian people.
During the conference, the head of the Middle East and North Africa Division expressed regret for the increasing suffering of the population in the Gaza Strip. Kirgöz also reiterated that all parties must strictly respect international law, including humanitarian law, as well as the UN Charter and UN resolutions, in order to stop the spiral of violence.
