The Jerusalem Post writes that the myth of the Russia-Iran-Turkey triangle must be dispelled. Recently, the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia ended, and the aim of this war was the entry of Turkey and Russia as a direct force in the South Caucasus to reduce American influence and divide the region between them.

It is not easy for Israel to say goodbye to what it calls the “miracle of diplomacy” of Donald Trump. But whether he likes it or not, this period is over. Among Biden’s entourage, there are many who have been involved in drafting and signing a nuclear deal with Iran.
It has been reported that Jake Sullivan, the US President’s National Security Adviser, has discussed with his Israeli counterpart, Meir bin Shabat, the prospect of strengthening strategic cooperation. In the meantime, it has been agreed that talks on this issue, as well as the issue of Iran, will continue in the coming months, based on the successes achieved in normalizing relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco.
Mossad chief Yossi Cohen is scheduled to travel to Washington in February. He will meet with Biden to discuss the outcome and communicate the Jewish government’s expectations for a review of the agreement.
Biden is unlikely to overturn Trump’s decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem or to recognize the Golan Heights as Israeli territory. However, advisers to the new president see the settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as based on the formation of two governments.
According to Israeli experts, the alliances between Israel and some Arab countries are by no means stable. At the moment, the main issue for Israel is the nuclear deal with Iran to prevent the situation from going back to the Barack Obama era.
One of the reasons for the nuclear deal was Tehran’s refusal to build a nuclear weapon, the lifting of sanctions, and Iran’s gradual transformation into a major regional power in the face of growing Turkish influence. Now, Israel must convince the United States that Obama made a big mistake.
In this regard, the Jerusalem Post writes that the myth of the Turkey-Iran-Russia triangle must be dispelled. Recently, the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia ended, and the aim of this war was the entry of Turkey and Russia as a direct force in the South Caucasus to reduce American influence and divide the region between them.
Under the agreement, Russian mediators entered Nagorno-Karabakh. Although Turkey convinced everyone that this war was necessary to confront Iran and Russia, in fact, Ankara cooperated with Tehran and Moscow. For Israel and the United States, Tehran remains a major problem. But now Turkey is also a problem for Israel.
