There is no information indicating an elevated risk of terrorist attacks in the Czech Republic related to events in Israel, as stated by Prime Minister Petr Fiala during a press conference after a meeting of the State Security Council. While the conflict in Israel has caused concerns about potential repercussions on factors like energy prices and illegal migration, there is currently no imminent threat within the Czech Republic.

During the meeting, the handling of pro-Palestinian demonstrations was discussed. Peaceful assembly is a right in the Czech Republic, but organizers are required to inform the appropriate administrative authorities. These authorities will determine whether there are grounds for dispersal, and the police have specialists in extremism present at such events to ensure compliance with Czech law. The meeting also highlighted the collaboration with security analysts to enhance security measures.

The State Security Council, which comprises the prime minister and other cabinet members, focuses on security matters. It typically convenes every two to three months, but the recent meeting occurred approximately a month after the previous one. Apart from the Israel situation, the council also addressed issues related to illegal migration.

In terms of the situation in Israel, it was marked by military operations in the Gaza Strip due to rocket attacks by Hamas, resulting in casualties on both sides. Security measures have been increased, and there have been incidents in Germany, Belgium, and France.
