Netanyahu to Czech President: "We Have No Greater Friend than the Czech Republic in the Eastern Hemisphere"
(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Czech President Milos Zeman at the dedication of the new "Czech House" in Jerusalem on Tuesday: "You said yesterday in a magnificent speech in the Knesset, 'If we betray Israel, we betray ourselves.'...No one in Europe understands so readily and immediately the situation of Israel and the challenge of Israel - a small, beleaguered democracy that is courageously facing the challenges of an undemocratic neighborhood." "We will never forget that you [the Czechs] supported us in the founding of our state, in the UN vote, among 33 countries. But then went further with deeds....You gave us the weapons to survive when we had no weapons....We fought and we won, and we're eternally indebted to you."
