(MENAFN- AzerNews) The official appeal of 30 deputies of the Israeli Parliament to
the Azerbaijani Parliament expressing support for Azerbaijan has
been published on social media.
The document is an appeal to the Parliament of Azerbaijan,
dedicated to the decision to open an Azerbaijani Embassy in Tel
Aviv. It was signed by Knesset (Israeli Parliament) deputies from
eight parties.
'Today, Azerbaijan stands shoulder to shoulder with Israel as a
reliable partner in the security and economic spheres. This
partnership is the foundation of Israel's regional security system.
The MPs of the Azerbaijani Parliament, our dear friends, accept our
congratulations on the decision to open the Embassy of Azerbaijan
in Israel. This is an important and bold step in the development of
cooperation between the two countries and a natural continuation of
the centuries-old friendship between the Azerbaijani and Jewish
peoples on Azerbaijani soil. We share a dangerous enemy: Iranian
tyranny, threatening to destroy both our peoples. The Ayatollah
regime, which brutally kills its own citizens and encourages
terrorism in the world, is using anti-Semitic propaganda to turn
the people of Azerbaijan against secular power, which is respected
in the international arena. The Iranian dictatorship also attempts
to threaten its northern neighbor by using a show of force and
attempts to create an Azerbaijani 'Hezbollah' [Lebanese Shia
Islamist political party and militant group]. But all these efforts
are futile. Azerbaijan, time and again, proves that it is not
susceptible to blackmail and threats and, one month after the
exercises of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps at the border,
announced the decision to open an embassy in our country. It is at
this moment that we want the Azerbaijani people to know: Israel and
the Jewish people cherish you and are determined to continue
building a strategic partnership,' the appeal said.
Moreover, the document expresses dissatisfaction with the
resolution of the French Senate of November 15 calling for
sanctions against Azerbaijan and an embargo on the purchase of EU
gas and oil from it.
'This decision plays into the hands of Iran, which is interested
in weakening Azerbaijan, which today is an example of a country
with a progressive Muslim-Shiite population, maintaining close ties
with Israel and the Western world. We hope that the Senate will
reconsider this decision,' the document reads.
Meanwhile, the document was signed, among others, by nine
ministers and two deputy ministers in the new government of
Benjamin Netanyahu. Among them are high-ranking cabinet members -
Minister of National Security Ben-Gvir, Minister of Religious
Affairs Malkieli, Minister of Education Kish
