President Isaac Herzog is flying to Azerbaijan on Tuesday, the latest step in an ongoing and very public expansion of bilateral ties.
Herzog, who will be traveling with his wife Michal, will meet Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Baku at the Zugulba presidential palace.
Aliyev will receive the Herzogs with an honor guard that will play Israel’s national anthem, “Hatikva.”
The two presidents will then conduct a working meeting, follow by a state lunch along with the first ladies.
Herzog is also scheduled to participate in a ceremony along with the local Jewish community celebrating Israel’s 75th birthday before heading home on Wednesday.
Health and Interior Minister Moshe Arbel from the Shas party will accompany Herzog on the visit, and will meet with his Azerbaijani counterpart Teymur Musayev.
Arbel and Musayev will discuss cooperation on training doctors, digital health, and emergency preparedness, according to Herzog’s office. They will also sign an agreement on healthcare cooperation.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
