In 2018, the country inaugurated the so-called Czech House, an office space in Jerusalem’s Cinematheque, where Czech diplomats conduct meetings but which has no official diplomatic status.
At the time, the Czech House was lauded as the first step in Prague’s relocation of its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
