Concerns over Pakistan and Turkey’s alignment with Saudi Arabia’s military campaign against the Houthis have been eased by recent diplomatic signals, though lingering uncertainties remain about their commitment to Riyadh’s broader regional strategy. The shift follows a defense agreement that has drawn scrutiny over potential shifts in Middle Eastern alliances, particularly as both nations navigate their own geopolitical priorities.
