President Pavel: Israel’s security must not come at the expense of other countries

Israel’s security must not be pursued at the expense of the security of other countries in the Middle East; it is about stability across the entire region, President Petr Pavel said in an interview for the Czech Army. It is necessary to be active in all initiatives that lead to ending the conflict, he added in a video produced by the Czech Army and published late Tuesday evening on Facebook by Foreign Minister Petr Macinka (Motorists). The Czech government has long expressed support for Israel.

On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked Foreign Minister Petr Macinka (Motorists) and Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) for the strong support that the Czech Republic provides to Israel. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, after meeting Macinka during his visit to Israel, described the Czech minister as a friend and the Czech Republic as one of Israel’s greatest friends in the world.
