Today we started to bid farewell to 🇮🇱Amb Ifat Reshef as the completion of her term as ambassador to🇨🇭nears. I always greatly valued the frankness of our exchanges throughout these very challenging times and wish her all the best for her future assignment. See you in Jerusalem!

During a phone call with my counterpart @GideonSaar, I stressed the urgency of safe, large-scale and sustained humanitarian access to #Gaza. A truce is being discussed and its primary goal must be the protection of civilians. As the depositary state of the #GenevaConventions,

At the UN Conference, I exchanged with 🇶🇦 Min. of State H.E. Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al-Khulaifi on #Qatar’s mediation efforts for a ceasefire in #Gaza, the urgent need of such an agreement & the necessity of a long term resolution of the conflict based on the 2-State solution.

Real pleasure to meet with 🇴🇲 #Oman Ambassador at large H.E. Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Abdullah bin Zaher Al Hinai and discuss the importance of the UN Conference to define practical steps towards the implementation of the two State solution, based on international law.

An honour to meet with H.E. Fuad Hussein, 🇮🇶 Deputy PM and MAE, on the margins of the UN Conference in New York, highlighting the good bilateral relations between #Switzerland & #Iraq and the necessity for a diplomatic solution to the #MiddleEast conflict.

Appreciated the exchange with H.E. Abdulaziz Saud Al-Jarallah, 🇰🇼 #Kuwait Assistant Foreign Minister for International Organisations, on the centrality of #multilateralism and cooperation to resolve the #MiddleEast conflict.

Useful exchange with H.E. Reem Ketait, Deputy Assistant Minister of 🇦🇪 #UAE on the catastrophic humanitarian situation in #Gaza and the urgent necessity to allow unhindered assistance to civilians in need.

Important exchange with H.E. Varsen Aghabekian Shahin, #Palestinian 🇵🇸 Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, on the necessity for an end to the #MiddleEast conflict, based on the two State solution and the full respect of international law.

Back at the Hostage Families Forum today to show my solidarity w/ the families. Recent videos prove again the horrible mistreatment of the hostages by Hamas & others. This has to end: Switzerland continues to demand the immediate & unconditional release of all hostages in Gaza.

Glad about the excellent panel on the #MiddleEast at the #BoKo25. It was essential to have a focused discussion on the region. Thank you Jaron Bernstein New Israel Fund CH 🇮🇱🇨🇭 and🇨🇭colleagues in the region for the precious exchange. #DiplomacyInAction

#Qatar | À la suite de l’attaque israélienne, la #Suisse souligne qu’il s’agit d’une claire et inacceptable violation de la souveraineté et de l’intégrité territoriale du Qatar. Nous rappelons que le #droitinternational et la Charte de l’ONU doivent être respectés en tout
