The Czech president said his country, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once called Israel’s best friend in Europe, sees “some form” of independent Palestinian state as essential to peace in the Middle East.
Statehood for the Palestinians should be an outcome of negotiations to end the war in Gaza, as only a two-state solution can bring peace and security guarantees for Israel, Petr Pavel told CTK news agency in an interview published on Thursday.
