Czech Republic's President Milos Zeman said that the Czech Republic is Israel's best friend, and that his presence and speech in the Knesset is a message of solidarity to the State of Israel and to the Jewish people.
Zeman, who arrived in Israel on Sunday for a four day visit, spoke at the Knesset on Monday. During his stay, Zeman will inaugurate the Czech House in Jerusalem, an office housing cultural, investment, trade and tourism offices for the Czech Republic.
The Czech House will serve as the first step for an embassy move of the eastern European country, one of the friendliest towards Israel on the European continent, from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
