WHAT HAPPENED
Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are preparing to sign a joint defense agreement in Jeddah, a move that the Times of Israel says is part of a wider effort to counter Iran’s influence in the region.
According to the Times of Israel, Saudi officials warned of imminent attacks coming from both the north and the south, prompting the three countries to formalise a defence pact. While the specifics of the agreement have not yet been disclosed, the plan signals deeper military cooperation. The pact comes amid heightened regional tensions, including a recent Houthi attack on Saudi territory that wounded 11 civilians, a story reported by the Times of Israel, Deutsche Welle, and France 24.
The agreement follows Israel’s refusal to withdraw further from Lebanon amid disputes over who will verify Hezbollah’s disarmament, underscoring a broader strategy by Gulf and regional partners to contain Iran’s regional ambitions.
