Times Of Israel: Herzog canceled trip to climate confab because Turkey barred him from airspace — report
President Isaac Herzog canceled his visit to the UN COP29 climate conference in Baku due to Turkey's refusal to allow Israel's state airplane to use its airspace. Azerbaijani officials disputed claims of security issues in their country, asserting that Baku is safe for Israeli officials.
While Herzog's trip was scrapped, the rest of the Israeli delegation is attending the conference, having arrived via commercial flights. The delegation is under tight security due to Azerbaijan's proximity to Iran and will showcase Israeli climate startups at the event.
