Yemen as a test for Gulf-Turkey-Pakistan coalition
The "Guardian" newspaper published a report about the Mecca Agreement for Collective Defense signed by Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey. The agreement states that any attack on one of the nations is considered an attack on all, thereby strengthening the presence of influential Muslim countries within a NATO-like alliance. The report examines the potential impact of this agreement, especially amid the escalating military tensions between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia in Yemen, where the Houthis, supported by Iran, launched attacks that resulted in the death of 58 Yemeni government forces and injuries to 11 civilians. The news suggests that this pact could alter the rules of engagement in the region and increase the chances of Turkey and Pakistan becoming involved in conflicts, while the alliance reflects the region's pursuit of establishing an independent security system that reduces reliance on the United States, amid growing Gulf doubts about American security guarantees.
