  "summary": "The Makkah defence alliance between Pakistan, Turkiye, and Saudi Arabia is intended to defend the three countries against aggression. According to the Foreign Office spokesperson, Sajjad Haider Khan, the allied forces will not launch attacks inside Yemen.\n\nThe alliance was formed to protect its member countries, and its forces will focus on defending Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkiye. This clarification comes as Saudi Arabia and the internationally recognised Yemeni government have urged the UN Security Council to take action against the Houthis.\n\nSaudi Arabia's envoy to the UN, Abdulaziz al-Wasil, and Yemen's envoy, Abdullah Ali Fadhel al-Saadi, have condemned Houthi attacks on civilians, recruitment of child soldiers, and threats to shipping in the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait. They have called for decisive measures to cut off funding, weapons, and technology to the group.",
