The Palestinian NGO Network welcomed on Sunday the decision of the Swiss Parliament issued a few days ago to reject the amendments approved by the National Council recently, which requires the cessation of support and assistance to institutions that adopt the boycott of “Israel” and call for the withdrawal of investment from them.

   In a press release, the network described the decision as an important step in the right direction and not to be forced to pursue institutions that finance projects in the Palestinian territories under the pressure of Israeli institutions that are trying to distort the social content of their work.

   The network considered the move a “new victory for human justice and a rejection of the policies of incitement and blackmail that circles close to Israel and active in many European countries in particular try to influence the parliaments and governments in the fight against the boycott movement.

   The network stressed the importance of the new victory and not to abuse the world with the false propaganda of Israel and its institutions, and its attempt to mark the community work with terrorism as part of a planned campaign aimed at harming the reputation and status of the Palestinian NGOs and associations that provide services to the Palestinian public through humanitarian and relief projects.
