Czechia expressing support for Israel

Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský has reiterated Czech solidarity and support for Israel as the country defends itself against attacks by Palestinian radicals. Speaking shortly before his departure for Oman, where he is to attend a meeting of EU ministers and Gulf Cooperation Council officials, Mr. Lipavsky said that Czechia is ready to help Israel to the best of its ability, both directly and on international platforms.

Ordinary Czechs have also been expressing their support for Israel, in the wake of the terrorist attacks by Hamas. Messages of sympathy and support are filling the social media and people have been laying flowers and lighting candles in spots close to the Israeli Embassy in Letná. Prague's Petřín Lookout Tower also lit up in the colors of Israel on Sunday night.
