Azerbaijan and Israel maintain strong bilateral relations characterized by a strategic partnership across various sectors, including energy, defense, and technology. The two nations have historically shared deep cultural ties, particularly through the Jewish community in Azerbaijan, which is recognized as one of the oldest and most integrated in the region. Diplomatic relations between Baku and Tel Aviv were established in 1992, and the opening of the Azerbaijani Embassy in Israel in 2023 further strengthened the diplomatic and economic bonds between the two states.
