הרב הראשי של אזרבייג'ן מבקש מהכנסת לשקול מחדש את ההכרה ברצח העם הארמני - בלעדי

הערכה

A senior Jewish religious leader in Azerbaijan is directly intervening in Israeli foreign policy, urging the Knesset to reverse its recognition of the Armenian Genocide. This move highlights the delicate balancing act Israel faces between its historical moral commitments and its strategic alliance with Azerbaijan, a key energy partner and regional power. The letter's timing, immediately after a government vote, suggests Baku is applying pressure through communal channels. Watch for how Likud leadership responds and whether this creates internal coalition friction.
