In the course of the visit of Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz to Azerbaijan several agreements on cooperation in the military and security sphere were signed, Asharq Al-Awsat reports. 

A high-ranking source accompanying Gantz said that Israel has good relations with Azerbaijan, as it is an important Islamic country neighboring Iran, and, like Israel, faces "many hostile plans from the leaders of the Tehran regime."

He said Israel and Azerbaijan "must coordinate their actions in order to counter these schemes together." He noted that the meetings showed that both sides share the same vision of many regional problems.
