As the European Union threatens sanctions against Judea and Samaria, Samaria Governor Yossi Dagan held a series of meetings in Prague with senior Czech officials, led by Deputy Senate Chairman Jiri Oberfalzer. The meetings aimed to build an international coalition against the boycott measures and received strong support from parliament members and ministers.
During the parliamentary meetings, Dagan presented maps of Judea and Samaria and emphasized the region’s strategic importance to Israel’s security. “Without Samaria, you cannot maintain the State of Israel,” Dagan said, adding that Israel stands on the front line of the Western world’s struggle against radical Islam—a fight with direct implications for Europe’s security.
Deputy Senate Chairman Jiri Oberfalzer expressed unqualified solidarity with Israel and Samaria residents. “We send greetings to the residents of Samaria and strengthen your hands. We wish you success in protecting your land and your culture. We stand with you, so you can build your culture and your history, as you have already done in the past,” he said.
Czech parliament members Miloslav Janulík and Denis Dusenský also voiced warm support. Dusenský said: “We want to thank you on behalf of the Czech Parliament, to all the people from Samaria. We truly wish you and your land success, may God bless you.” Janulík added: “I wish the best to the people of Samaria. Be strong, we stand with you.”
Samaria Governor Yossi Dagan thanked his hosts for their partnership and support. “We are together to win for the future of Israel and Europe, and we will win this together,” he said. Dagan also expressed appreciation for the work of Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, the Foreign Ministry team, and Israel’s ambassador to the Czech Republic, Amir Weissbrod, in the fight against boycotts.
The Czech support joins a similar coalition Dagan is building in Slovenia, where he maintains ongoing contact with senior officials. These efforts aim to create a broad European front opposing attempts to harm Judea and Samaria and the security of the State of Israel.
