Settlement Diplomacy: Samaria Council Head Builds Coalition in Czechia Against EU Sanctions

During his meetings in Prague, Dagan met with Czech ministers, parliament members, and senior government officials. He presented strategic maps of Judea and Samaria, highlighting that the distance between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River is only about 70 kilometers, with Samaria accounting for approximately 55 kilometers of that width. Dagan argued that Israel cannot be sustained without Samaria and that the region serves as the frontline for the Western world against radical Islam.

Czech officials expressed strong support for Dagan's positions. Boris Stastny, the Czech Minister of Health and Sports, held an extended meeting with Dagan, while Andrej Knotek, the chairman of the ruling Czech party's faction in the European Parliament, released a joint video stating that Samaria is Europe's first frontline and that Israeli sovereignty in the region is vital for the Western world. This diplomatic push follows similar efforts by Dagan in Slovenia, where he previously secured support from Prime Minister Janez Jansa and Deputy Prime Minister Jernej Vrtovec.
