The Israel — Azerbaijani alliance>>>(AI)>>>>
Israel and Azerbaijan have strong strategic ties centered around energy and military collaboration. Israel sells weapons to Azerbaijan, which has been a significant arms buyer for Israel in recent years. At the same time, Azerbaijan is a major oil supplier to Israel, notably through the Baku-Ceyhan pipeline that connects Caspian oil fields to the Mediterranean. This energy relationship reduces Israel’s dependence on Arab oil.
Azerbaijan plays a crucial role in Europe’s energy supply through its gas pipeline infrastructure. Its state oil company SOCAR has been granted exploration rights in Israel’s Mediterranean gas fields and has acquired stakes in Israeli gas fields like Tamar. This cooperation facilitates the potential supply of Israeli natural gas to Europe, using Azerbaijan’s infrastructure and good relations with Turkey, which is a key transit country for gas to Europe.
