The Foreign Ministry is currently registering 181 Czechs in Israel in the Drozd travel system, and at least a dozen are trying to get to the Czech Republic in some way. Lipavský elucidated that the individuals repatriated to the Czech Republic were primarily those who had proactively contacted the Czech embassy in Tel Aviv. During his visit to Israel, Lipavský met with Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, President Yitzhak Herzog, and the granddaughter of a woman previously abducted by the Palestinian Hamas movement to the Gaza Strip.
