Mecca joint defense pact marks new regional alliance, expert says
Military expert Faisal Al-Hamad says the Mecca joint defense agreement forms a defensive alliance and a foundation for a new regional order.
Military expert Faisal Al-Hamad explains that the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement establishes a defensive alliance and lays the groundwork for a new regional order in the Middle East. Speaking to Al Arabiya FM, Al-Hamad emphasized that the agreement represents a significant step forward in regional cooperation among Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey.
He stated that the US President Donald Trump's endorsement of the agreement highlights the importance of this three-country alliance, which is not directed against any specific nation. Al-Hamad noted that the alliance serves as a model for other countries in the region to follow in establishing their own defensive partnerships. This, he argued, is why the United States welcomed the Mecca agreement, as it aligns with Washington's goal of shifting burdens to its allies, who will assume greater decision-making power in the Middle East and other regions.
