Federal Councilor Ignazio Cassis participated in three meetings of the UN Security Council on Monday. In the Middle East, he notably demanded an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon as well as the release of all hostages.
“The political solution is known to us” to achieve peace in the Middle East: “it is the two-state solution, which offers Israelis and Palestinians the prospect of living in peace and security,” underlined the head of Swiss diplomacy, as he had already done on October 29.
To build lasting peace in the Middle East, it is imperative to invest in young people, he added. He said he was “convinced that the new generations, who aspire to perspectives of life – and not death – are able to undertake the path of reconciliation and fight against hatred and extremism”.
