Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delayed a planned visit to Azerbaijan as the Israeli regime is escalating its attacks on multiple fronts, particularly in Gaza and Syria.

The trip, initially scheduled for May 7–11, has been shelved amid mounting military and political pressures as Tel Aviv scrambles to manage simultaneous crises.

"In light of the recent developments on the front lines in Gaza and Syria, as well as the busy military and political agenda, Prime Minister Netanyahu has decided to postpone his visit to Azerbaijan to a later date," his office said Saturday.

The delay coincides with a sweeping series of Israeli airstrikes launched across central and southern Syria, targeting military infrastructure near Damascus, Hama, Daraa, and Latakia. These raids, some of the most expansive in recent months, struck Syrian army facilities and communication hubs.

While this pivot is welcomed by some Israeli officials as a strategic opportunity, the broader security picture remains uncertain. 

On a related note, Resistance fighters in Gaza maintain steadfastness under siege, continuing to confront Israeli aggression with resilience and coordinated operations, despite relentless bombardment and deepening humanitarian suffering.
