An attack on Riyadh could soon also count as an attack on Damascus.
Following Houthi missile attacks on Riyadh that prompted a call for military support from Syria, Syria is preparing to join the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement alongside Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan.
According to reports, two Syrian officials say Damascus has already decided to join and that around 600 Syrian special forces troops are being prepared for Saudi Arabia (AP).
The Mecca Pact was designed to ensure that every member defends the others even if only one is attacked.
16 articles, no expiration date and no way out for 10 years; this allows an attack on a single capital to draw in all the other members without a new treaty.
For Syria, sending fighters abroad helps Damascus stabilize its own territory by sending former opposition fighters out of the country.
This also brings Riyadh and Damascus even closer together: a military agreement on November 4 and, in addition, a Saudi loan of more than $400 million.
Share this so the pact’s expansion doesn’t go unnoticed, and follow me for Syria’s final decision.
