Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Romanian Prime Minister Viorica Dăncilă during the Craiova State Forum in Varna.

The two discussed strengthening relations between the two countries. Netanyahu told the Prime Minister of Romania that Israel is defending Europe by preventing dozens of attacks on its soil. Netanyahu congratulated Romania for winning the presidency of the European Union and requested that it help significantly change the EU's position on Israel.

"You are close neighbors, good neighbors, we have a different neighborhood, but our relations with our Arab neighbors are changing dramatically for the better," Netanyahu told his Romanian counterpart.
