The Swiss government has announced that it will be suspending its financial support for eleven Palestinian and Israeli non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The decision was made by the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (EDA) on Wednesday. The suspension of funding is intended to encourage the organisations to work together to promote peace and dialogue between the two sides. The Swiss government has also stated that it will continue to support the organisations in other ways, such as providing technical assistance and advice. The suspension of funding is expected to have a significant impact on the organisations, as they rely heavily on Swiss support. The Swiss government has expressed its hope that the organisations will be able to find alternative sources of funding and continue their important work.
