"Netanyahu's upcoming visit highlights the state of affairs in the Azerbaijani-Israeli partnership. Although it continues to cause persistent discontent on the part of Iran, Azerbaijan's southern neighbor does not have the resource base to seriously undermine the alliance between Baku and Tel Aviv," writes the Russian news agency Eurasia Daily (EADaily).

"On the eve of Netanyahu's visit to Baku is expected to strengthen the partnership between Azerbaijan and Israel in the military sphere, especially in terms of intelligence sharing. It can also strengthen Azerbaijan's ties with the United States, given the position of the Donald Trump administration regarding the decisive suppression of any possibility of Iran's creation of nuclear weapons," the news agency emphasizes.

"Any armed conflict in the region is especially contraindicated for energy exporting countries, as its production facilities become a potential target for attacks by opposing states. Moreover, if Azerbaijan is directly involved in a military confrontation with neighboring Iran in the role of a "facilitating" party, as some experts in Baku recommend. It is obvious that Netanyahu's visit fits into the logic of Israel's expansion of the anti-Iranian front and is intended, among other things, to verify the strength of military-political relations with Azerbaijan against the background of preparations for a possible military action against nuclear and other strategic facilities in Iran," EADaily adds.
