Anadolu Agency's report did not specify the exact date of the remarks or provide additional detail on any specific measures Switzerland may be calling for in response.
Switzerland's position reflects a stance held by many UN member states, which regard Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank as contrary to international law, a view Israel disputes.
