Trump envoy Witkoff in Azerbaijan for talks - media
Steve Witkoff, special envoy of US President Donald Trump, arrived in Azerbaijan’s capital Baku following an overnight visit to Moscow, signaling a well-coordinated diplomatic effort between Israel, the US, and Azerbaijan.
The information was first disseminated by The Jerusalem Post, revealing that Steve Witkoff, US President Donald Trump's special envoy, touched down in the Azerbaijani capital on March 14 morning, News.Az reports.
According to a report by the official Russian news agency RIA, Witkoff's plane departed from Vnukovo Airport in Moscow around 2:00 a.m. and arrived in Baku within a few hours. Although the Kremlin has not officially confirmed it, various sources claim that a closed meeting took place between Witkoff and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Sources involved in Israeli-Azeri relations reveal that coordination for the visit became particularly intensive after March 5, when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized his commitment to the trilateral partnership between the countries in the Knesset.
Meanwhile, a significant letter from senior rabbis to President Trump, calling for the expansion of the Abraham Accords and strengthening the strategic alliance between Israel, the US, and Azerbaijan, led to considerable resonance in political and diplomatic corridors. The letter directly influenced the preparations for the visit to Baku.
