BESA: Israeli–Azerbaijani–Turkish triangle may offer significant long-term prospects

"The remaining question is what policy line Jerusalem should adopt—especially considering that the level of trust toward Ankara remains only marginally above zero, and not without reason. Currently, neither sustainable cooperation nor a strategic partnership seem feasible. The most Israel can realistically afford under current conditions is to follow the same principle that Baku applies to Iran: namely, to maintain what President Ilham Aliyev has termed “working relations” with the new administration in Tehran—formally accepting Iranian leaders’ rhetorical assurances of good neighborliness while realistically assessing their imperial ambitions through the lens of Azerbaijan’s national interests and security," according to the Israeli think tank BESA.

"If this analogy holds, then the process of constructing—even if not yet fully consolidated—a triangle of Israeli–Azerbaijani–Turkish relations, facilitated by what might be termed the “Baku Process” (a term still unofficial), and, in parallel, the development of substantial segments of the emerging “Abrahamic Alliance 2.0”, would indeed hold significant long-term promise," the think tank emphasizes.
