Mecca Teacher Clarifies Defense Pact Goals
The article included a denial by Dr. Abdul Hafiz Mahboub, professor of political and economic geography in Mecca, that the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement aims to establish a military sectarian axis or a Sunni bloc. He emphasized that its focus is on building autonomous capabilities and achieving mutual deterrence against attacks, without linking it to nuclear ambitions or an arms race. He clarified that the alliance does not constitute a counterbalance to the "Israeli–Emirati alliance" and is open to the accession of friendly countries. It also supports putting pressure on Israel to establish an independent Palestinian state through economic projects. He confirmed that the agreement aims to strengthen military deterrence and develop defense cooperation between Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. Its goal is to protect each country in the event that one of the three faces an armed attack, while also enhancing joint cooperation among the participating nations.
