Herzog at Azerbaijan summit: 'Peace cannot exist with terror'
Addressing Asian leaders in Baku, Israeli President Isaac Herzog calls for expanded regional cooperation and peace, warning terrorism and boycotts undermine efforts to build lasting partnerships.
Israel's President Isaac Herzog recently met with President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan and Bahrain's Foreign Minister Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani.

Bahrain is an important Gulf country that joined the Abraham Accords in 2020, fostering relations with Israel and other countries. During the meetings, Herzog expressed gratitude for Azerbaijan's warm welcome and emphasized the strong strategic relationship between Israel and Azerbaijan, rooted in mutual respect and shared interests.
He also highlighted the importance of the Abraham Accords and Israel's commitment to strengthening its ties with Bahrain.
