Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to travel soon on an official visit to Azerbaijan.

While the exact date of the trip has yet to be finalized, it is set to take place in the near future. Netanyahu is scheduled to meet in Baku with President Ilham Aliyev, with whom he shares a longstanding relationship marked by close cooperation. Azerbaijan, a Shi’ite Muslim country, maintains a notably friendly stance toward Israel.

The visit follows technical talks held in Baku two weeks ago between senior Israeli and Turkish delegations, aimed at preventing military friction between the two countries in Syrian territory.
