recent months after it began to experience a fundamental transformations in the Middle East, it seems that Czech foreign policy they are not always able to respond rezolutnějším expression. Recognition of the destruction of Bin Laden and others simply can not commonplace. Nowadays transform the Middle East, we should act resolutely. Despite the obviously limited role of CR in global politics are a few important things which can be a positive movement in the Middle East today to help (as soon as possible - it is possible that over time will gain the initiative away rozporuplnější political power) and thus also strengthen and act in accordance with our and European interests: Such as the experience of a peaceful transition from authoritarian regime to a normalization democracy, our knowledge of the Constitutionalists writing up a modern constitution, and perhaps experience related to the peaceful collapse of the state.

Meanwhile, it seems that the only certainty of our foreign policy is a positive relationship with Israel, which can sometimes seem nearly as "Israeli Czech sight optics. It illustrates well the Minister's remarks Vondra defense of the recent conference on national security of Israel in Herzliya. There Vondra, while acknowledging that there are protests in Egypt and Tunisia justified, but then said: "I think that sometimes it is preferable controlled development of the Revolution with an uncertain outcome. We can not afford the Middle East uncertainty, which could threaten Israel, a nation with the only real democracy in the region. " It is certainly in our interest and our ally Israel, that the only real democracy in the Middle East added and further democracy.
Another recent manifestation nerozborného Czech-Israeli friendship was the first invitation of Czech Prime Minister for the Israeli prime minister. Banjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu to the joint press conference with Petr Necas proved as a great orator who does not deny the political skill and a certain charisma. For his resolute words, however, completely set, it is also one of the most controversial prime ministers in Israel's history. In the 90 years, the secret of his opposition to the peace process and participated if the demonstrations, which were to be seen "hanged" dummy former Israeli Prime Minister - Yitzhak Rabin. After his violent death at the hands of the Israeli radical "Bibi" succeeded Rabin as prime minister, but under enormous pressure from U.S. and gnashing of teeth had to compromise on rhetoric and opposition to sign several important peace agreements. Despite its reputation as one of the sexton of the peace process (in addition to those Palestinian) confirmed in a second - the current prime minister. Today's "Bibi" rides again as a very radical and tough politician and a supporter of the world politics and criticized the construction of Jewish settlements.
certainly - even such as the Prime Minister Netanyahu is perfectly legitimate to invite a representative of a friendly country. But I can not breath Czech politicians openly heard and critical words about some of his policies? I can be good allies say some unpleasant things they would rather have avoided. Perhaps it is this criticism by the Czech Republic impressed upon a good ally of Israel far more than the same words uttered most EU politicians and NGO activists.
Czech policy could have just occasionally more courage, and the Middle East is the shining example. Here we can only take a clearer position on the positive movement in changing the Arab Middle East, but also our ally Israel.
