In his words, Israel doesn't have official stance on the conflict, as Azerbaijan did not express its position on the Palestine-Israel conflict and did not support the military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

I wish the conflict be settled peacefully," Shagal said, reports Zerkalo Baku-based newspaper.
