The Czech Foreign Minister, meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar in Jerusalem, pledged that the Czech Republic 'will continue to support Israel in the European Union,' according to N12. The statement comes as some EU member states are reportedly pushing for sanctions against Israel, though the specific trigger or scope of the proposed measures was not detailed in the report.
As The Zioneer reported on June 11, the Czech Republic has previously taken a firm pro-Israel stance in EU forums, with then-Foreign Minister Petr Fiala vowing to veto any EU sanctions on Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. The current minister's comments reinforce Prague's consistent position amid internal EU debates on Israel policy.
The meeting between Sa'ar and the Czech foreign minister was not previously announced. No further details on the agenda or other topics discussed were provided.
