Swiss Foreign Ministry will summon Israel’s ambassador (ambassador) in response to the Israeli parliament’s approval of a law on the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of fatal attacks.
According to media reports Blick, the application of the death penalty by Israel has drawn harsh criticism internationally, including from Switzerland.
In response to the Israeli parliament’s decision, Switzerland is expected to summon Israel’s ambassador, Tibor Schlosser, to the foreign ministry this week.
“Switzerland rejects the death penalty wherever and under any circumstances because it is not in line with the right to life and human dignity. For this reason, Switzerland has conveyed its position to Israel both bilaterally and publicly,” a Foreign Ministry official told Blick, quoted by ANTARA from Anadolu, Monday, April 6.
Enderlin’s team, head of the Peace and Human Rights Division, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, reportedly has started talks with Schlosser and will call him to convey Switzerland’s position to Israel in person.
The Knesset, Israel’s legislative assembly, passed the controversial law by a vote of 62-48. The head of the Israeli authority, Benjamin Netanyahu, also voted in support.
Based on the law, the execution will be carried out by hanging.
The warden or prison guard appointed by the Israeli Prison Service will carry out the execution. The parties involved in the execution process will receive anonymity and legal immunity.
