Babis to fly to Israel on Thursday

Prime Minister Andrej Babis will leave for Israel only on Thursday, not on Wednesday afternoon as originally planned, because of changes in the election campaign of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Czech Government Office has said. "Because of the preparation for the forthcoming elections, the Israeli side moved the programme in Jerusalem from morning hours to late afternoon, and so the departure of the Czech delegation was moved from Wednesday to Thursday morning. The modified programme is being created now," Czech government spokesman Vladimir Vorechovsky told CTK.
