In this episode of "Sada Al-Mashreq," we examine the importance and dimensions of the Makkah defense alliance, which includes Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, coinciding with meetings in Istanbul that brought together the alliance's member states. What are the reasons behind the formation of this bloc? What are its expected aspirations, and can it achieve them?
