The Jerusalem Post: Israel must show appreciation and respect for Azerbaijan

As antisemitism has reached a record high in the United States and many other places, Israel must show appreciation and respect for Azerbaijan, a modern, tolerant, enlightened nation.

Former Minister of Communications, Satellite and Cybersecurity of Israel, President of the Center for Economic Peace, Ayoob Kara, shared his thoughts of Azerbaijan in an article published by The Jerusalem Post on Monday.

"About a year ago, I traveled to Azerbaijan, and I was delighted to meet with Azerbaijani Jewish leaders, both in Baku and Red Village. I was impressed by the beautifully decorative synagogues alongside the hospitality and warm multicultural atmosphere, which celebrated differences rather than repressed them. Azerbaijan may be the only country in the world where the synagogues don’t have to lock their doors at night. This is how much antisemitism is non-existent in Azerbaijan," Kara said.

"I hope that Yemenite Jews alongside with other Jewish communities across the world can work to build a strong and friendly relationship with Azerbaijan, as at times like this, we should do everything possible to show our gratitude to Azerbaijan."
