"Washington is pressing Azerbaijan to join the Abraham Accords. Even before TRIPP (Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity), Baku was already benefiting from the potential advantages of the Abraham Accords within bilateral cooperation with Israel, including access to advanced military technologies and energy trade with Israel. However, linking Azerbaijani and Israeli ports could connect the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor to the Trans-Caspian International Transit route, creating a commercial crescent that could counter China’s influence in Central Asia and mitigate the power wielded by Iran and Russia. Whether Azerbaijan will sign on to the Abraham Accords is unclear for now. The country typically tries to maintain an independent foreign policy that keeps its options open," notes Just Security, a daily digital law and policy journal based at New York University and financed by the Open Society Foundations.
