Knesset Speaker Edelstein In Prague: Europe Will Understand Israel's Problems When IS Reaches It

Islamic terrorism is a threat to all humankind, Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein told Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka in Prague on Wednesday.

“When Islamic State reaches Europe, everyone will understand what Hamas meant for Israel,” Edelstein warned. “We must eradicate Islamic terrorism for the good of humankind.”

Edelstein expressed hope that the Czech Republic will continue to stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself in European fora and in the UN.

The Knesset Speaker discouraged Sobotka from having his country upgrade relations with Iran, as the Czech Republic is considering sending an ambassador there and increasing trade with Theran.

Edelstein explained that disregarding sanctions would be a victory for the Iranian regime.
