==Background==<br />
According to ''JTA.org'', Schwarzenberg's family have had links with Israel since its foundation:<br />
::Schwarzenberg’s attitude toward Israel reflects his personal experience as well as Czech support for Israel. Schwarzenberg's father had close ties to Jewish businessmen and frequently was a guest at [[B'nai B'rith]] events in Prague. Israel’s first embassy office in Czechoslovakia -- one of the first Israeli embassies in the world -- was opened in the home of Schwarzenberg's parents on Prague's Vorsilska Street in May 1948.<ref>Dinah Spritzer, [http://jta.org/news/article/2009/01/12/1002173/schwarzenberg-on-israel-and-hamas Key European leader offers his take on Gaza], JTA.org, 12 January 2009.</ref><br />
