I SUPPORT YOUR ACTION

First Supporters

Jean-Daniel Vigny, Former Head of Human Rights Policy at FDFA
I am one of the 61 signatories and former FDFA diplomats of the open letter to the Federal Council dated 29.8.2025, asking it to act in Palestine

Christophe Gallaz, Writer and Columnist
Mr. Cassis is transforming Swiss neutrality into protection for crime

Jean-Daniel Ruch, Former Ambassador
Everything must be done for justice to prevail

Thomas Litscher, Former Secretary General of the FDFA
I have no doubt that Federal Councillor Cassis, through his political, diplomatic, and moral support for Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, has become complicit in the countless serious crimes committed there. If international humanitarian law, which has been severely undermined, is to regain the standing that Switzerland has afforded it since Henri Dunant, it is essential that individuals such as Federal Councillor Cassis answer for their complicity before the International Criminal Court.

Georges Martin, Former Assistant Secretary of State, FDFA
Mr. I. Cassis must be held accountable for his policy towards the State of Israel.

Shelley Berlowitz, Member of Jewish Voice for Democracy and Justice in Israel/Palestine (JVJP)

Flavio Del Ponte, Doctor
My entire life has been dedicated to Humanitarian Aid and victims of violence

Julia Steinberger, Ecological Economist

Valérie D’Acremont, Doctor and University Professor
Healthcare workers and hospitals have been deliberately targeted by the Israeli government, even though Mr. Cassis is a doctor himself, which should have motivated him even more to clearly denounce these actions that do not comply with the Geneva Conventions.

Jacob Berger, Filmmaker, director of the film “A Jew for an Example”
The credibility and thus the survival of democracy depend on respect for international law and the principle of equality before the law. Without these principles, the law of the strongest prevails.

Blaise Genton, Honorary Professor, University of Lausanne
I am outraged by Federal Councillor Ignazio Cassis’s complicit attitude with the Israeli authorities, in flagrant violation of international norms. Maintaining close collaboration with Mr. Netanyahu, who is accused of crimes against humanity and genocide, is unacceptable, especially for a state that is a depositary of the Geneva Conventions and in disregard of suffering civilian populations. .

Katrin Meyer, Full Professor, University of Basel
