00:00For the past three days, Saudi Arabia and the Yemeni Houthis have been moving almost towards
00:04a full-fledged war. In such a situation, could the Maka Defense Alliance Agreement be activated?
00:08The agreement was signed between Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, stating that an attack on one
00:12would be considered an attack on all three. Meanwhile, the Houthis have carried out drone
00:15attacks on four different Saudi cities, including Abha, Kamismushait, Jazan and Najran, in which
00:2073 people were injured, including children and women. At the same time, the Houthis have claimed
00:24that royal Saudi fighter jets have carried out more than 1,200 airstrikes on Houthi-controlled
00:28areas. If we talk about the Maka Defense Pact, Pakistan condemned the attacks on Saudi territory
00:32and said that Saudi Arabia has the right to defend itself. This means that if a major war breaks out,
00:36it is possible that Pakistan and Turkey could come to Saudi Arabia's support. However, such a
00:40possibility does not appear likely at the moment, because Saudi Arabia is a very powerful country,
00:44and for now, Saudi Arabia has also not indicated any possibility of activating the Defense Pact.
00:47The reason is that this war is essentially between the Yemeni government and the Houthis.
00:51The Houthis do have one major advantage. They can disrupt Saudi Arabia's oil facilities and exports
00:55to some extent. And this is something Saudi Arabia is, to some extent, concerned about as well.
