"Our country went through very difficult two years during the war. That is when true friends are revealed. Throughout these two years, the friendly relations between Azerbaijan and Israel continued. All commitments on energy supplies were met, and bilateral air connections continued - any temporary suspensions for security reasons were quickly resumed. Azerbaijan and Israel are strategic partners. Trade between the two countries has been growing rapidly in recent years, despite the war," Zeev Elkin, Minister at Israel’s Ministry of Finance and Co-Chair of the Azerbaijan–Israel Joint Commission, told the Azerbaijani news agency Trend.

Elkin also announced that Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar is expected to visit Azerbaijan around the end of January 2026. "He is likely to be accompanied by a large business delegation to create a platform for expanding business ties," the minister said.
