International discussions are underway to form a stabilization force in Gaza after the recent conflict, with Azerbaijan emerging as a leading candidate for participation. Experts highlight that Azerbaijan's involvement could offer Israel strategic, diplomatic, and economic advantages, given their longstanding partnership and shared concerns over Iranian influence. Azerbaijan's presence in a peacekeeping coalition may also help legitimize the mission among Muslim-majority countries and encourage broader regional participation. The country brings valuable postwar reconstruction experience and deepening energy ties with Israel, which analysts say could diversify the coalition and lower the risk of escalation. Ultimately, the effectiveness of such a force would depend on clear mandates and strong coordination between military and civilian efforts.
