The foreign policy expert calls the decision a 'childish mistake,' while leaders of Azerbaijan's Jewish communities urge Israeli lawmakers to oppose the move.

The removal incident took place during a debate on the bill, in which five of the attorney general's deputies made a rare joint appearance to present their opposition.
