Turkey is putting pressure on Azerbaijan. What did Baku promise to Israel?

Israel will continue to buy Azerbaijani oil, although it is not reflected in official statistics, Haaretz reports, citing the source of the Israeli government.

It should be reminded that the State Customs Committee of Azerbaijan recently published a report on foreign trade in the first quarter of 2025. In this document, Israel is not mentioned among Azerbaijan countries buying oil.

At the same time, it is known that Israel is one of the main buyers of Azerbaijani oil. Traditionally, about 40 percent of the country's oil needs have been met by supplies from Azerbaijan. In this context, the report of the State Customs Committee has raised questions. Has Baku suspended oil sales on Tel Aviv, in the background of the continued war in Gaza and Turkey? The sources of Israeli government claim that the procurement continues.

"Azerbaijan has promised Israel that will continue to supply oil supplies, despite the fact that it does not officially mention the fact of exporting Israel oil," said Israeli official. The Israeli government has previously reported that Israel does not disclose the names of the Muslim countries in its customs statistics, of which oil goes. However, in many cases, these countries themselves publish such data, which leads to scandals.
