Makkah Defence Alliance: Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, news & updates

[Master Chief]

I am surprised no one posted that Syria wants to join the Makkah Defense Alliance? It was a major news on Pakistan's Dawn.com and the NYTimes.com today.

Also read that in Dawn. Interesting development but I noted the mixed signalling from the Syrian politician (?foreign minister) regarding Israeli occupation of parts of Syria as we speak.

Presumably it is a Turkish led initiative.

I wonder if the aim of this announcement is to put more political pressure on Bibi rather than a genuine intent to "fast track" a semi-failed state into a formal defensive pact.

Either way, it's a clever announcement to make. It will cause panic in Tel Aviv at the very least, with further criticism of Bibi being inevitable for so stupidly putting Tel Aviv in a near suicidal position.

Great post!
Yes, I think Turkey is closing in on Israel through Syria and Naftali Bennet knows that. Similarly, Pakistanis deployed in western Saudi Arabia is also closing in on Israel.

According to Iranian Security Chief Mohsen Rezaei

Makkah pact countries more Iran aligned than many of Iran's allies

That Saudi Arabia is convinced Turkiye is israel's next target after IR & then KSA. That Turkiye agrees & Pakistan underscored the growing alliance b/w Hindus & Jews.

Ok but then why not make common cause?

Iranian is lying.

The pact launched by Saudi is primarily aimed at Iran and the Houthis.

Adding Saudi to the Abraham Accords is Israel's strategic target. It was close to being achieved before Oct.7.

Middle East is wife (Israel) and concubines (Saudi, UAE, Turkey, these on F35 pending list). Pakistan doesn't get to be one only because India has more weight.
