Czechia could be involved in humanitarian operation for Gaza

Czechia could be involved in a humanitarian aid operation for civilians from Gaza, Defence Minister Jana Černochová told journalists after a meeting with President Petr Pavel at Prague Castle on Tuesday. The minister said that if the mission is approved by Parliament, a medical team could be sent out in a matter of weeks.  The field hospital would most likely operate aboard a ship. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant reportedly asked Czechia to join the humanitarian operation during Minister Černochova’s visit to Israel last week. The minister said she had already discussed the matter with the Chief of the General Staff Karel Řehka.
