Azerbaijan's decision to open an embassy in Israel is a significant step, said American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) on Twitter, APA reports.

Today's historic decision by the Azeri parliament is a significant step forward in the relationship between Israel and Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan will be the first Shi'ite Muslim-majority nation to open an embassy in the Jewish state," the post reads.

The American Jewish Committee (AJC) also commented on the decision to open the embassy.

"We applaud Azerbaijan's historic decision to open an embassy in Israel - the first Shi'ite Muslim country to do so. AJC and Azerbaijan have long been close partners and this step will further strengthen the ties between Israel and the Muslim world," the diaspora organization said on Twitter.
