This senior official of the occupying Quds regime wrote in the continuation of his Twitter message: "Israel considers Azerbaijan as a valuable strategic partner and an anchor of regional stability."
 
Isaac Herzog further claimed: "Relations between our nations are a model for other countries that choose the path of peace and cooperation, and it is an example of friendly relations between Muslims and Jews."
 
The President of the Zionist regime praised Ilham Aliyev and the relations of this regime with the Republic of Azerbaijan in the context that before leaving occupied Palestine, he had expressed hope that the good relations between Tel Aviv and Baku would be strengthened even more.
 
Relations between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Zionist regime have become warmer and more open than before, following the opening of the Baku embassy in occupied Palestine. Relations that, according to the reports of the Zionist regime's media, have a history of several decades.
 
According to a recent report of the Zionist newspaper "Jerusalem Post", this regime opened an embassy in Baku in 1993 and relations between the two sides have improved, especially in the field of defense.
 
According to the research findings of the "Stockholm International Peace Research Institute", 69% of Azerbaijan's arms purchase in 2016-2020 was from the Zionist regime, and about 40% of the imported oil of the Zionist regime is supplied from the Republic of Azerbaijan.
