Netanyahu to depart for five-day Azerbaijan visit on May 7

Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will take off for Azerbaijan on May 7, according to his office. He will return on May 11, after spending the Jewish Sabbath abroad, as he almost always does on his official visits.

On May 8, Netanyahu will meet with President Ilham Aliyev and members of the Jewish community.

Azerbaijan is not party to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, and thus there is no danger that Netanyahu will be arrested.
