Czech Republic

At a meeting in Prague, the Czech Republic laid out a hard line against any European effort to impose sanctions on Israel. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar sharply criticized European governments that, he said, are pushing an anti-Israel agenda: "They are harming relations with the only democracy in the Middle East in order to win applause from the terror states in our region."

On a visit to Israel, Czech Foreign Minister Petr Mzinka placed a note between the stones at the Western Wall, toured the new 'Gate of Heaven' exhibit, and urged: "Keep showing this unique site to the whole world so everyone recognizes its importance."
