Czech Republic Deputy Prime Minister Petr Macinka:
"Israel is a civilized country surrounded by uncivilized enemies. They judge Israel with their liberal democratic eyes. If you behave like that, you wouldn't exist."
Israeli and Czech foreign affairs ministers hold a joint press conference, announcing the establishment of a joint commission between Israel and the Czech Republic.
The body will serve as a formal channel to coordinate policy, expand cooperation in defense, trade, and technology, and accelerate bilateral agreements.
