After the many support visits by Western world leaders to Israel, today (Wednesday) Prime Minister Netanyahu met with Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala in the Kirya in Tel Aviv together with other senior Israeli and Czech officials. During the conversation the Prime Minister told Fiala: "This is our darkest hour. I appreciate you standing here."
Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Fiala told the Prime Minister during the meeting: "Hamas is our common enemy, we must ensure that it is isolated. It has been on the European Union's terror list for years, and now we must act."
Netanyahu at the beginning of the meeting: "I am very happy to welcome you here. The Czech Republic has been a very big supporter of Israel in good times and in dark times. This is our darkest hour, and I appreciate that you are standing here. Your support is greatly appreciated and I welcome your arrival in Israel. I always say that there is only one thing better than standing by Israel, and that is standing inside Israel. That's what you're doing. Thank you."
Prime Minister of the Czech Republic: "The international community must push for the unconditional release of the abductees"
Fiala told the Prime Minister: "Thank you Prime Minister. I came here at this difficult time to express our clear support and solidarity with Israel. We had plans to meet in Prague on October 8, but one day before that, Hamas and Palestinian terrorist organizations launched their barbaric terror. October 7th was the most tragic day for Israel and the Jewish people in decades. One Czech citizen was among the victims of this terrorist act."
