Azerbaijan’s stature as a regional player has significantly increased in recent years.

The visit comes amidst continued speculation that the new Syrian government under Ahmad al-Sharaa will withdraw its recognition of Abkhazia.

The meeting was the latest to take place between Israeli and Syrian officials in Baku since the fall of al-Assad’s regime.

Syria’s al-Sharaa was also reportedly scheduled to meet with an Israeli delegation in Baku.

Foreign Minister Bartsits invited Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa to visit Abkhazia.

Unlike previous years, Syria opted to abstain, rather than vote against the resolution.

The Israeli minister thanked Azerbaijan for its support since 7 October and for voting for Israel in Eurovision.
