For this purpose, Mr. Simion added that every country, including Romania, should adopt the IHRA definition of Antisemitism and teach, within national history subject, this important page of the past, in order to make sure that all the future generations will know and understand the lack of humanity of those times and why it is vital to avoid such horrors.

As Orthodox Christians, Romanians have a powerful connection with the Holy Land and Jerusalem – the heart of Judaism and Christianity.
The parties discussed and agreed also about the historical right of the Jewish people to build and live in communities and cities in Judea and Samaria, the cradle of history of the Jewish people since the days of the Bible.
