The Czech Republic is in talks with Israeli firms to buy a number of air defense systems, Czech Foreign Minister Petr Macinka said on Tuesday.

During a press conference with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, Macinka said the Czechs were looking at the Spyder, Arrow, and other defense systems.

"Regarding the Spyder, yes, we are discussing we're discussing air defense systems with Israel because these systems are technologically on top," Macinka said when asked about buying Israeli defense systems.

This is a developing story.
