Romanian president criticizes premier's statement on transferring embassy to Jerusalem

This is stated in a statement published on the website of the President of Romania.

"The decision to transfer the Romanian embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem will be made only after analysis ... and only with the approval of all departments with prerogatives in the field of foreign policy and national security," the report says.

Earlier, Denchile, speaking at a conference of the US-Israel Public Relations Committee in Washington, said that Romania would transfer its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

On May 14, 2018, inauguration of the new American embassy in Israel took place in Jerusalem.

Vladimir Dzhabarov, First Deputy Chairman of the Council of the Federation on Foreign Affairs, commented on NSN on the decision of US President Donald Trump to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
