“The Czech Republic continues to support the two-state solution in which Israel and a Palestinian state exist side by side in peace and even cooperation with each other. We also understand very well the dangers Israel is constantly facing and perceive the ever-changing and ever-worsening security environment of the region … [the Czech Republic] ‘does not intend to make any strategic change in its policies toward Israel” (Czech Foreign Minister Lubomir Zaorálek, speaking to the Israel Council on Foreign Relations in Jerusalem, 6/11/2014)
