"It is difficult to see who, apart from Iran, would stand to benefit from a war between Israel and Turkey. With its regional influence significantly weakened, Iran would view such a conflict as a geopolitical windfall... Azerbaijan is uniquely positioned as the only country that enjoys deep, trust-based relationships with both Israel and Turkey," according to the Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post.

"President Aliyev is widely respected and trusted by both nations’ leaderships, placing Azerbaijan in a powerful mediating role with genuine potential to prevent further escalation... That is why Azerbaijan’s peacemaking stance is so crucial in the current crisis. This is a conflict that threatens not only the stability of the region but could also unleash unpredictable consequences. This is a war that, for now, can still be prevented," the newspaper notes.
