Switzerland has initiated proceedings to dissolve the Geneva branch of the controversial, US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid group, citing legal shortcomings in its establishment, Reuters reports.

The GHF did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Swiss move to shut down its Geneva office.

“The ESA may order the dissolution of the foundation if no creditors come forward within the legal 30-day period,” the Federal Supervisory Authority for Foundations (ESA) said in a creditors’ notice published in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce.

The ESA told Reuters that the GHF had not fulfilled certain legal requirements, including having the correct number of board members, a postal address or a Swiss bank account.

“GHF confirmed to the ESA that it had never carried out activities in Switzerland … and that it intends to dissolve the Geneva-registered (branch),” the ESA said in a statement.
