. Prime Minister Netanyahu agreed with his Czech counterpart that he would
stop in Prague this Wednesday – en route to his planned visit to Germany –
and personally thank him for standing up for the truth and for peace. "The
history of Israel and the Czech Republic has taught us that one must cling
to the truth even if the majority is not with you. Your vote must serve as
an example for all those who support peace, which can be achieved only via
direct negotiations without preconditions. The Palestinian Authority's
decision to go to the UN constitutes a fundamental violation of the
agreements with Israel and only pushes peace further away," Prime Minister
Netanyahu said.
