Against the background of the war in Ukraine:
Foreign Minister Yair Lapid is today (Sunday) making a diplomatic visit to Romania, and in a joint statement with Romanian Foreign Minister Bogdan Oresco at the end of their meeting in Bucharest, he said: "Israel, like Romania, condemns the Russian invasion of Ukraine. "Russia must stop firing and attacking and solve the problems around the negotiating table."
He added: "Israel will help as much as it can to reach a peaceful solution. We are working in full coordination with our ally, the United States and our European partners to try to end this violent tragedy as soon as possible.

The Romanian government has helped and is helping Israel save many lives.
Jewish children from the Odessa orphanage, children with cancer sent to Israel for treatment and thousands of refugees whose lives were saved thanks to the cooperation between us came out of the Siret crossing.
Lapid said of the meeting: "I have just finished a working meeting with the Romanian Foreign Minister, we are on our way to meet the Prime Minister to hold another discussion on the situation in Ukraine and the question of refugee treatment. After the meeting I will go on a tour of the agency , Where Foreign Ministry personnel have been stationed almost since the first day of the fighting and are helping refugees get out.
Lapid and the Romanian Foreign Minister,
I thank you my friend, and I thank the Romanian Government for their cooperation, for their goodwill.
This is further proof of the brave and long-standing friendship between our countries, in peacetime and also in times of war. "
