Nicu Popescu had a meeting with the director for Russia and Eurasian Affairs of the American Jewish Committee
On October 23, in Chisinau, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration Nicu Popescu had a meeting with Sam Kliger, the director for Russia and Eurasian Affairs of the American Jewish Committee. The head of diplomacy from Chisinau said that, during the meeting, he reiterated our country's support for Israel - a state facing attacks by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
"I reiterated the firm support of the Republic of Moldova for the State of Israel and for its right to self-defense, in light of the brutal terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas. Together with Mr. Kliger, I emphasized the importance of combating anti-Semitism and promoting the culture of memory and tolerance in the Republic of Moldova and throughout the region. Our country remains determined in efforts to promote inter-ethnic understanding and to take measures to cultivate the memory of the Holocaust, combat anti-Semitism and other forms of xenophobia or intolerance based on ethnic, religious or other criteria," the minister wrote on his channel Telegram.
We remind you that a state of war was declared in Israel on October 8 - one day after the terrorist group Hamas began to launch attacks on this country from the Gaza Strip, a territory it controls. In response, the Israeli army began bombing the Gaza Strip. According to the latest count, 1,500 people have been killed in Israel so far, and 3,500 in Gaza.
