Political analyst Dr. Baraka Al-Hoshan has highlighted the importance of moving the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement from the signing stage to the activation of its political and defense mechanisms.

Speaking in an interview with Al-Ikhbariya Radio, Al-Hoshan said that shifting the Mecca defense pact from signing to implementing its mechanisms is key to transforming it from a political framework into a practical security alliance.

He added that the agreement signals the intention of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan to establish a long-term security framework, rather than just a temporary alliance. The strength of this coalition, he noted, lies in the diverse capabilities of the three countries: Saudi Arabia's economic and political influence and its prominent role in the Islamic world, Pakistan's status as a nuclear-armed Islamic nation, and Turkey's possession of the second-largest army in NATO and extensive operational experience.

Al-Hoshan continued that this combination creates a strong deterrent capability, and the integration of these three distinct powers will result in a formidable alliance that will be a significant force in the region.
