Fiala and Babiš agree on stance towards Israel

In their first television debate since June, Prime Minister Petr Fiala and opposition ANO party leader Andrej Babiš went head-to-head on Sunday over the country's economic woes. The prime minister said that he expects the economic situation to improve next year, while Mr. Babiš declared that the government is destroying the country and will continue to do so next year as well.

However, the pair did manage to find agreement on the issue of the Israel-Hamas war, with the opposition leader saying he supports the Czech government's position of backing Israel, which Mr. Fiala's administration considers a key ally to the Czech Republic.
