Geopolitical Intelligence Services: Azerbaijan positions itself as a possible bridge between Israel and Turkey

"Azerbaijan’s close relationship with Israel plays a key role in assessing Baku’s potential role in shaping the future of Syria. As Israel and Turkiye pursue competing visions for Syria’s political and territorial landscape, tensions between these two regional powers have become increasingly evident. Their interests in Syria are fundamentally incompatible, raising the possibility – albeit remote – of direct military confrontation if their rivalry escalates. Against this backdrop, Baku has cautiously positioned itself as a possible bridge between Tel Aviv and Ankara, a role that could grow in importance over time," according to Geopolitical Intelligence Services, a Liechtenstein-based think tank.
