Will the Houthi attacks activate the Mecca Pact?
The Al Jazeera opinion piece frames the new Houthi offensive primarily as a test of Saudi Arabia's regional security relationships. Its analysis argues that Pakistan and Turkey could intervene if Riyadh formally requested help, while direct participation in the Yemen war remains unlikely. The immediate significance is therefore less an imminent alliance war than whether the Houthi advance triggers wider regional military involvement.
