Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Thursday, 17 November 2016), met with Romanian Foreign Minister Lazar Comanescu, who is on an official visit to Israel. They discussed the excellent state of bilateral relations and the need to expand the areas in which the two countries have a policy of cooperation, especially economic and commercial matters.

 

Prime Minister Netanyahu thanked Romanian Foreign Minister Comanescu for his country's support in international organizations against the Palestinian initiatives that render the region's hoped-for peace more remote. He added that a solution to the conflict will come through direct negotiations between the sides and not via initiatives on the part of various countries and international organizations. The Prime Minister also discussed with the Romanian Foreign Minister the regional challenges that Israel is currently facing.
