Samaria Chief Yossi Dagan Secures Czech Backing Against EU Sanction Threats
Samaria Council head Yossi Dagan met with Czech officials in Prague to build an anti-boycott coalition, securing strong support from Senate leaders amid EU sanction threats.
Amid threats from the European Union to impose sanctions on Judea and Samaria, Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan held a series of meetings in Prague with high-ranking Czech officials, led by Senate Deputy Speaker Jiří Oberfalzer. The meetings aimed to build an international coalition against boycott efforts and garnered firm support from the country's lawmakers and ministers.
During discussions in the parliament, Dagan presented maps of Judea and Samaria, emphasizing the region's strategic importance to Israel's security. "Without Samaria, it is impossible to sustain the State of Israel," Dagan stated, adding that Israel stands at the forefront of the Western world's struggle against radical Islam, a battle with direct implications for Europe's security.
Czech Senate Deputy Speaker Jiří Oberfalzer expressed unequivocal solidarity with Israel and the residents of Samaria. "We send greetings to the residents of Samaria and strengthen their hands. We wish you success in preserving your land and culture. We are by your side, so you can build your culture and history, as you have done in the past," he said.
Czech MPs Miloslav Janulík and Denis Dusenský also voiced warm support. Dusenský stated: "We wish to thank you on behalf of the Czech Parliament, all the people of Samaria. We truly wish you and your country success, God bless you." Janulík added: "I wish the best to the people of Samaria. Be strong, we are by your side."
Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan thanked his hosts for the partnership and support. "We are together to win for the future of Israel and Europe, and we are going to win this together," he said. Dagan also expressed appreciation for the efforts of Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, the Foreign Ministry team, and Israeli Ambassador to the Czech Republic Amir Weisbrod in the fight against boycotts.
This support in the Czech Republic adds to a similar coalition Dagan is building in Slovenia, where he maintains ongoing contact with senior government officials. These diplomatic moves aim to establish a broad European front opposing attempts to harm the settlements and Israel's security.
