ECI salutes Czech Senate President for standing up for Israel
Brussels, 4 June, 2010 - European Coalition for Israel salutes the brave and courageous statements made in support for Israel by Czech senate president Premysl Sobotka. During a visit to Israel on Thursday Sobotka said that "the Turkish flotilla was a planned provocation designed to entrap Israel." He went on to say that "many in the European Community feel as I do but they are afraid to speak out."
ECI now calls upon political leaders in all parts of Europe to show similar courage and openly express their solidarity with Israel during this difficult time of world condemnation. The organisation has sent a personal letter to the European Union High Representative of Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Catherine Ashton, who is currently calling for "an immediate and unconditional lifting of the blockade of Hamas controlled Gaza." ECI wants to remind Lady Ashton that this is the same organization which the EU is keeping on the terrorist black list because of its doctrinal commitment to destroy the state of Israel.
