Fiala: Ukraine, Israel conflicts about the future of West and core values

The conflicts in Ukraine and Israel are about the future of Western civilisation and its core values of respect for human life and respect for civilians, says Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala. Speaking at the SH!FTS investment conference in Prague on Tuesday, he said it was therefore necessary to support those who are the victims of aggressors.

The two conflicts have also underlined the importance of strengthening Czechia’s own resilience, Mr. Fiala told delegates.

He said Russia’s aggression against Ukraine was a brutal but conventional military conflict, while the Hamas attack on Israel was unalloyed terrorism.
