Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to postpone his visit to Azerbaijan, scheduled for May 7-11, due to events in the region, the Times of Israel reported, citing Netanyahu's office.

“In light of the events in the Gaza Strip and Syria, as well as due to the tight political and security schedule, Prime Minister Netanyahu has decided to postpone his visit to Azerbaijan to a later date,” his office said in a statement. - The Prime Minister thanks President Aliyev for his invitation and appreciates the warm relations between the two countries."

Earlier, the Center for Combating Disinformation at the Communications Department of the Turkish Presidential Administration said there was no question of opening Turkish airspace for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Azerbaijan on May 7.

"Turkey has closed its airspace to Israeli airplanes as a result of Israel's genocidal policy towards Gaza.

Turkey continues to defend the just cause of the Palestinian people.

Do not believe baseless accusations," the Turkish ministry said in a statement.
