I really don’t see where this “Israel is a major threat to Türkiye” idea comes from. If Israel wanted to attack someone, they wouldn’t shy away... nobody in the region has ever been able to tell them to stop. And despite that, Türkiye has never been on their target list. We have no territorial disputes, no ideological conflict, no competing spheres of influence. Realistically, Türkiye doesn’t face any major external threat at all.
I don’t even count Greece as a serious threat. At most, you could see some tension in Cyprus, but even then Türkiye doesn’t need Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, or anyone else to handle that. We’ve managed our regional issues alone for decades.
And when Pakistan had its last conflict with India, Türkiye didn’t need any “alliance,” “treaty,” or formal pact to support them politically. We did it because of our bilateral relationship.... not because of some new bloc. Keep in mind, this was before KAAN, before our new defence projects even matured.
That’s why I feel this so‑called alliance benefits Pakistan and Saudi Arabia far more than it benefits Türkiye. We don’t gain anything strategically from it, and we certainly don’t need it for our own security.
