Framing
Both Israeli right-leaning outlets report the visit as a diplomatic success, relaying Herzog's office and his statements on warm ties with Azerbaijan and the Abraham Accords with Bahrain.
Emphasis
Herzog's praise for Azerbaijan and Bahrain, the Abraham Accords, and bilateral friendship; JNS adds the itinerary and Aliyev's remarks.
Leaves out or plays down
No Azerbaijani or Bahraini official accounts beyond a brief Aliyev remark, no outside analysis, and no mention of any criticism or wider regional context.
Charged language

For example

“The talks focused on strengthening the Abraham Accords and deepening Jerusalem-Baku ties” — JNS
