"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to make an official visit to Baku, Azerbaijan, in early May, where he'll meet with President Ilham Aliyev. The visit comes against the backdrop of renewed nuclear talks between Washington and Tehran, the country’s neighbor, and is expected to focus on ongoing negotiations regarding Turkey's military presence in Syria. The agenda will also include discussions on Azerbaijan possibly joining the Abraham Accords, expanding bilateral ties with Israel and strengthening Baku’s influence in Central Asia. The meeting follows a visit by U.S. Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff during which Azerbaijan positioned itself as a mediator in regional stabilization efforts," reports Ynet, the most visited Israeli news website.

The article adds, "Aliyev recently held talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Syria’s new president, Mohammad al-Sharaa, further cementing his role as a major regional player. Both the U.S. and Israel reportedly view Aliyev as a unique figure capable of bridging divides among key regional actors."
