Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu said on Thursday that the Bucharest Executive is ready to offer its help to the Israelis who are facing devastating fires.

„We stand in full solidarity with the people of Israel facing devastating fires. The Romanian Government is ready to offer its help, if necessary. Our authorities are in contact with our Israeli colleagues,” Marcel Ciolacu wrote on Thursday on his X page.

On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that rapidly spreading wildfires near Jerusalem could reach the city, AFP reported.

Israeli rescue services are on high alert after several devastating fires mainly west of Jerusalem, the largest in recent years, killed several people.
