Czech Republic in an extraordinary historical gesture to Israel
While most of the foreign embassies in the Czech Republic hold events in the embassy or in rented halls, Israel's 70th Independence Day will take place in the Spanish ceremonial hall in the Prague Castle, at the personal invitation of President Milos Zaman.
According to the president's spokesman, this is an exceptional event and probably the first case in modern history when celebrations of a foreign nation will take place in Prague Castle under the official auspices of the president.
"Not only is this an important anniversary, but the State of Israel is an important supporter and inspiration for us. We have a common history, and it was Czechoslovakia that supported the establishment of Israel, and this incident must be mentioned," the president's spokesman explained.
It is not a common occurrence that the president of the republic takes over the independence of another country, and the speaker of the castle is aware that "this is an extraordinary thing. This is a personal decision by President Zaman and a statement of exceptional friendship with Israel."
Beautiful country and apparently close friends.
