Azerbaijan and Israel are negotiating to sign a contract to purchase an additional $ 2 billion worth of weapons from Israeli defense companies, Israel Today has learned from the source.
The additional employment is affected by two main factors.
The first factor is the growing exchange of fire along the new-old border between Azerbaijan and Armenia, which many believe could develop into the Third Carbach War.
The second factor is the tightening relations between Israel and Azerbaijan, all the more so after the great success of Baku's Nagorno-Karabakh War II and the historic opening of the Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce and Tourism in Israel.

Beyond this deal, Baku is currently negotiating with Israeli companies from various fields, as well as Azeri Ministry of Defense cargo planes that collect various types of ammunition, including ballistic missiles and aircraft, landing at the airport all the time, including in recent days. These are deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars that are expected to be signed in the coming months. These deals will be further evidence of the importance of relations with Baku to Jerusalem officials, despite pressure from the Armenians themselves and through the Armenian lobby around the world against arms deals between Israel and Azerbaijan. In this context, shortly after Armenia opened its embassy In Israel, it returned the ambassador to consultations in the wake of the war in Karbach, a step that did not change the relationship between Jerusalem and Baku in any way.

Recently, the Azerbaijani Chamber of Commerce in Tel Aviv has already managed to come to terms with the Israeli "Our Crowd", which indicates that Baku's ambition is for the new missions in Israel to accelerate relations.
Also on Tuesday, an independent commentator in Turkey, Oğul Tuna, estimated that the establishment of Azerbaijan's trade and tourism bureaus was one step before the opening of Baku's embassy in Israel.
If this does materialize, Azerbaijan will be the second Shiite-majority country to be ambassador to Israel, after Khaled Yusuf al-Jalahmeh was elected on March 30 as Bahrain's first ambassador to Israel.
