- Iranian and Turkish representatives walked out of a summit in Azerbaijan during Israeli President Isaac Herzog's speech.
- Delegates from Gulf states, including Qatar, UAE, and Bahrain, remained and listened to President Herzog.
- The incident occurred during the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA) summit.
- The article frames the walkout as a failed attempt to isolate Israel and highlights a split in the Islamic world.
- The event is described as demonstrating the importance of dialogue and regional stability with Israel.
During the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA) summit in Azerbaijan, representatives from Iran and Turkey demonstratively walked out of the hall as Israeli President Isaac Herzog began his speech. This action was described as a "cheap provocation" by some, aimed at creating a false impression of Israel's isolation.
However, the article contends that this attempt failed, highlighting a "deep split" within the Islamic world and what it calls a "victory for Israeli diplomacy." While representatives from Iran and Turkey, along with those from Kuwait, Pakistan, and an unspecified "invented people," departed, delegates from Gulf states including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain remained seated and listened respectfully to President Herzog's address.
The dramatic scenes from Azerbaijan are presented as evidence of a widening gap between an "axis of evil and hatred" that maintains antisemitic stances and Gulf nations that recognize Israel's importance for regional dialogue and stability.
