Czech Republic Slams Hamas For ‘Terrorist Attacks’ On Israel – Barron’s

The Czech government has strongly condemned Hamas for initiating “terrorist attacks” against Israel, a nation with which Prague shares a longstanding alliance. The Czech Republic, along with its predecessor Czechoslovakia, has historically been one of Israel’s most steadfast supporters.

Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala expressed his condemnation on social media, stating, “I condemn the terrorist attacks on Israel. My thoughts are with the innocent victims of the violence and I wish our friends in Israel the swiftest possible handling of the situation and the fulfilment of their ambitions to live in peace and security.” He further emphasized the Czech Republic’s unwavering support for Israel.

A scheduled meeting in Prague between Fiala and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, set to discuss bilateral issues including political and economic ties, security, research, and healthcare, was canceled. The Czech foreign ministry described the Hamas attack as an “unacceptable escalation,” firmly denouncing the infiltration of Israel across the Gaza border and the extensive rocket attacks launched from Gaza.
