(Times of Israel) Raphael Ahren - "It doesn't make any sense," said Ephraim Kam, deputy director of the Institute for National Security Studies and a former officer in the research division of the IDF's Military Intelligence branch. "If the Azeris were really to help Israel carry out an attack on Iran, they would pick a huge fight with Iran, and if Iran decided to strike Azerbaijan, nobody would come to their help. In my eyes this scenario seems absolutely impossible." Shlomo Brom, a former chief of the IDF's strategic planning division, added: "It is known that Mark Perry is not a huge fan of Israel. What probably happened is that he took a kernel of truth - that Israel and Azerbaijan have good bilateral cooperation...and turned it into something that it is not."
