WEST BANK (Dispatches) –The Czech Republic is under pressure from the Zionist regime to follow in U.S. steps and move its embassy from Tel Aviv to al-Quds, Israel’s Channel 10 has reported.
The broadcaster cited a classified cable by the regime’s Ambassador to Prague Daniel Meron, saying that pressures by the occupying regime following decisions from the U.S. and Guatemala to move their embassies have made the Czech Republic more open to following suit.
Prague "has begun a quiet internal staff evaluation to examine the possibilities and risks regarding the transfer of its embassy,” the cable written to the Zionist foreign ministry last week said.
The decision will ultimately be made by Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis, who is seen as particularly risk averse, Channel 10 said.
US President Donald Trump recognized the regime’s claim to al-Quds as its so-called "capital” last December, and set in motion a frozen plan to relocate the American embassy there.
The announcement triggered an international storm and later that month, more than 120 countries voted at the UN General Assembly in favor of a resolution calling for the United States to drop the recognition.
Czech President Milos Zeman has strongly backed Trump’s decision and drawn praise from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which wields considerable influence in Washington’s policies.
According to the Lidové noviny newspaper, Zeman who in December announced his intention to relocate the embassy from Tel Aviv now wants to speed up the process.
The Czech Foreign Ministry, however, has objected to the relocation following consultations with its European counterparts, the report said.
