Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan are important countries in the Muslim world, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at Ben-Gurion Airport Tuesday morning before flying to Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, The Jerusalem Post reported.

Both Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan want to strengthen their ties with Israel, Netanyahu said, and “following the strengthening of our relations with powers in Asia, and countries in Africa and Latin America, now comes the connection with important countries in the Muslim world.”

Not only is Israel not isolated, but it is being courted by many countries around the world, including Muslim states in Central Asia, noted Netanyahu.

The premier recalled that when he visited Azerbaijan 20 years ago he met with the current president's father, then President Heydar Aliyev.

This visit, he added, signifies both “continuity and an important breakthrough.”
