Shafaq News/ On Saturday, Turkiye rejected reports claiming it hadapproved Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s use of Turkish airspaceduring his upcoming visit to Azerbaijan.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Öncü Keçeli dismissed the allegationsas “completely unfounded,” clarifying that Ankara had received no formalrequest from Israeli authorities.
The statement follows a wave of speculation across news outlets andsocial media platforms, which suggested Turkiye had granted overflightpermission at the request of Baku.
Netanyahu is expected to visit Azerbaijan between May 7 and 11.
Notably, in November 2024, Turkish authorities reportedly blockedIsraeli President Isaac Herzog’s plane from transiting Turkish airspace enroute to the UN Climate Summit in Azerbaijan.
Tensions between Ankara and Tel Aviv have also intensified inrecent months. In April 2025, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan announcedthe official suspension of diplomatic and trade ties with Israel, citing theongoing war in Gaza.
“There will be no normalization with Israel until a ceasefire isachieved,” Fidan told CNN Türk, accusing Netanyahu of “defying the entireworld” with US backing and urging Washington to restrain him.
