Qatari-owned media: Azerbaijan sees Abraham Accords as a pathway to repealing Section 907

"Why is there a push to integrate Azerbaijan into the Abraham Accords, especially considering that it is not an Arab country and already maintains robust relations with Israel? A key part of the answer lies in Section 907 of the US “Freedom Support Act.” Passed by Congress during the first Nagorno-Karabakh war after the fall of the Soviet Union, the provision prohibits direct US aid and arms sales to Azerbaijan," notes The New Arab, a London-based news website owned by a Qatari company.

"While successive US administrations have waived this restriction annually since the early 2000s, Baku is now seeking a full repeal - something it hopes to achieve with Israel’s support and through closer integration into US-backed regional frameworks like the Abraham Accords," The New Arab emphasizes.
