Defying its nation’s official position against funding lawsuits targeting the Jewish state, the Swiss Foreign Ministry was caught covertly funneling millions of dollars to Palestinian organizations that pursue anti-Israel cases.
Ben-Dror Yemini, an Israeli journalist and the author of “Industry of Lies” explains how Switzerland and pro-Palestinian groups team up in efforts to malign Israel at the International Criminal Court, in addition to pursuing the Jewish state in other lawsuits
According to a report by watchdog group NGO Monitor, the Swiss government has directly funded this anti-Israel legal activity to the tune of $2 million at a minimum.
The Swiss Foreign Ministry transfered the funds even though the Swiss government officially ended support for a Ramallah-based anti-Israel group over its support for the BDS movement.
