Science Minister Ofir Akunis spoke a short time ago with Karil Bazourak, the deputy ambassador of the Czech Republic in Israel and thanked him for his country's support of the decision recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
"You are a brave nation who are not afraid to battle by our side for the truth. The Czech Republic is a true friend of the Jewish people and the state of Israel and we are very appreciative of this," Akunis said.
Akunis, who was the last Israeli minister to visit the Czech Republic, asked to convey his gratitude to the Czech government and to the entire Czech nation.
