"For more than a decade, Baku has successfully balanced its relationships with multiple regional powers, including Turkey, Russia, and Iran, while at the same time maintaining strategic depth in its relationship with Israel. This balancing act has become more challenging as Ankara’s hostility toward Jerusalem has escalated since the start of the war in Gaza, including boycotts of Israeli products, sanctions against trade with Israel, and even veiled threats of Turkish military intervention. However, Azerbaijan has stayed the course by respecting its alliance with Israel without forsaking its close cultural and political ties to Turkey," according to the Israeli think tank BESA.
