Will the Houthi attacks activate the Mecca Pact?
If there is a Saudi request, Pakistan and Turkiye will intervene, but direct involvement in the Yemen war is unlikely.
AI Summary
If Saudi Arabia formally requests assistance, Pakistan and Turkey are prepared to intervene, though they are unlikely to become directly involved in Yemen’s war. The Houthi rebels have seized the port of Mocha, putting the main shipping lane through the Bab al‑Mandeb strait at risk. In addition, they have launched attacks on several Saudi cities, wounding roughly 70 people, including women and children. These developments raise questions about whether the regional security framework known as the Mecca Pact could be triggered.
