Azerbaijan–Israel relations
Bilateral relations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Azerbaijan and Israel began diplomatic relations in 1992 following Azerbaijan's independence from the Soviet Union. The relationship between Israel and Azerbaijan avoids overt military bases or formal alliance frameworks, instead operating through a deliberately low-profile strategy centered on arms transfers, intelligence collaboration, and sustained technological integration in the defense sector. Azerbaijan has been strengthening its ties with Israel since 2011, and in 2022, it announced that it would be opening an embassy in Israel, marking the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two states.
