Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to explore the geometry of the Romanian-Israeli relations, by unveiling the responsible elements that shaped the matrix of bilateral interactions in the period 1989-2010. Moreover, the paper will focus on the conceptual overlapping between Romania’s relations with Israel and US (mostly from a NATO-related perspective) and on the transmission-belt role played by the Jewish state and by various Jewish communities in Romania’s endeavours to join the US-led ‘security umbrella’.
