Will Türkiye and Pakistan intervene to protect Saudi Arabia from Houthi attacks?

Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan signed the “Mecca Joint Defense Agreement” during a summit hosted by Mecca, which brought together Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif.

Among its terms, the agreement stipulated that “any attack on one of them will be considered an attack on all three countries.”

With the escalation of tensions between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, and the continued attacks on Saudi cities, questions are raised about the role of the “Mecca Alliance” in helping Saudi Arabia against the Ansar Allah Houthi movement.
