"Israel and Azerbaijan have enjoyed strong bilateral relations for over two decades. Not only are the two countries on good terms, but Israel is considered Azerbaijan’s closest ally (aside from Turkey), and they share robust cooperation across several sectors. For instance, Israel has become Azerbaijan’s largest arms supplier in recent years, including during the difficult days of the Second Karabakh War," according to The Jerusalem Post.

"On the other hand, despite being a majority Shia Muslim country (albeit secular), Azerbaijan showed unwavering support for Israel following Hamas’s attack on October 7. The first telecommunications companies in Azerbaijan were Israeli, and today, Azerbaijan is Israel’s top energy supplier. Recently, the two nations deepened their energy partnership when the Azerbaijani energy company SOCAR was granted a license to explore Israel’s economic waters for natural gas. One could say that Israel and Azerbaijan now cooperate regularly, almost on a daily basis," The Jerusalem Post emphasizes.
