· Damascus, Syria

Syrian officials told the Associated Press that Damascus will join the Mecca Pact, a defense alliance formed by Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan in August 2026 as Houthi attacks on the kingdom escalated. Syria has sent military advisers to Saudi Arabia, and around 600 special forces are planned for deployment near the Yemen border. The move follows a recent Saudi-Syrian defense cooperation agreement. Cooperation so far has focused on advisory roles and training, not direct combat in Yemen.
