"The thirty-year-old Israel-Azerbaijan partnership stands out as a security asset waiting to be recognized and embraced by Washington. This trans-regional alignment originated from apprehension on the part of Jerusalem and Baku that Iran and its proxies ultimately sought their destruction. It deepened over time to encompass new economic and security domains, exemplified by the recent high-level Azerbaijani trade mission to Israel... This latest advance has the potential to increase trade between Israel and Türkiye, and for Baku’s long standing relationship with Türkiye to help ease tensions between Ankara and Jerusalem, especially over Syria," notes Townhall, a leading American conservative news outlet.

"Taking advantage of the possibility of incorporating countries such as Azerbaijan into the Abraham Accords offers Washington a vital opportunity to help keep Iran’s ambitions in check in the Middle East, the Caucasus, and Central Asia... Bringing Azerbaijan into closer alignment through the Abraham Accords could further cooperation for the U.S. with the Caucasus and with Central Asia, where Baku is already a regional leader... Expanding alliances and incorporating Azerbaijan in the Abraham Accords is the next logical step that should not be neglected even in these challenging times," Townhall added.
