ABSTRACT

This is the last chapter of the present volume, and although it covers over two decades, it is relatively brief. The end of the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia in 1989, the “Velvet Revolution” allowed for a revival of pockets of Jewish life in the country, specifically in Prague, and a renewal of Czech–Israeli, as well as Slovak–Israeli official relations. However, mutual ties continued to be strained by Czechoslovak arms exports to Arab countries, and thereafter Czech military cooperation with Iran.
