Dear Members of Parliament and the Federal Council,
You are our elected representatives. We voted for you because we believe you will stand against injustice and uphold our core human values. The various “Trumpisms” currently shaking the world must not distract you from this mission.
Take a clear stand against the disastrous, inhumane Israeli government by imposing the same sanctions as those placed on Russia, which also repeatedly violates international law. Recognize Palestine as a sovereign state – this is a crucial step toward credible negotiations for a two-state solution. Actively contribute to a peaceful future by reviving Switzerland’s role as a mediator between the conflict parties.
End this risk of mass extermination in the making – initiated by Hamas and continued with unprecedented brutality by the Israeli government against the civilian population.
I thank you with all my heart.

Warum ist das wichtig?
The suffering of civilians in Gaza, Palestine, and Israel grows each day. As the NZZ reported on April 1, 2025, the Israeli army continues to block all humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza.
This petition urges the Federal Council and Parliament to become more active in putting an end to this horror.
Switzerland – especially Geneva, home to many UN organizations – bears a special responsibility in upholding human rights, international law, and the protection of civilians. By remaining silent in the face of the emerging risk of mass extermination in Gaza and Palestine, we become complicit and give the Israeli government a green light for its inhumane actions. This must change now.
