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.

Interim Syrian president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has signaled a break from the previous government's alignment with the Axis of Resistance, expressing conditional openness to future normalization with "Israel." 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.

Netanyahu had reportedly planned to meet with a Turkish delegation during his Azerbaijan visit to discuss regional diplomacy, particularly options for engagement with Syria. The meeting now stands postponed as "Israel" recalibrates its approach in light of intensifying military activity.

His office also confirmed that Netanyahu conveyed his appreciation to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and affirmed the importance of their bilateral relationship. "He expressed his gratitude for the invitation from Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and emphasized the importance of friendly relations between the two countries," the statement read.
