Why Azerbaijan belongs in the Abraham Accords

An interesting proposition!

"When US President Donald Trump posted a clip from Azeri counterpart Ilham Aliyev’s Shusha Global Media Forum speech on Truth Social he was not just boosting a friendly quote. He was signaling that Azerbaijan’s long partnership with Israel and Washington is now on his radar in a public way.

In that video, Aliyev calls Trump a leader who ends wars says they share core values including family values and wishes him success especially when draining the swamp. Trump rarely shares videos of foreign leaders so the post stands out and shows that people around him increasingly view Baku as central to the region’s next phase.

For more than three decades Israel and Azerbaijan have worked together on strategic issues. Shifts in Middle East politics and Israeli Palestinian flare ups have not derailed the relationship. ..."

Why Azerbaijan belongs in the Abraham Accords | The Jerusalem Post "Aliyev’s public praise of Trump is not just rhetoric. It reflects decades of quiet strategic ties with Israel and a rare opportunity to expand the Abraham Accords eastward."
