Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with Romania’s Marcel Ciolacu in Jerusalem.

Ciolacu is accompanied on the visit by a number of officials, including Defense Minister Angel Tîlvar.

Ciolacu is the first world leader to visit Israel since the start of the war with Hamas, which began when the Gaza-based terror group carried out a cross-border assault, killing at least 1,300 people, mainly civilians.

Terrorists also kidnapped at least 200 more, many of them babies, children and the elderly.
