The Makkah defence pact, announced with such fanfare between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkiye on August 7, is neither viable nor meant to defend ‘Saudi’ or Palestinian rights. The zionists control Saudi islands north Red Sea but this pact is not about liberating them.
Was it a coincidence that Israel suddenly started unscheduled demolition work at the Haram al-Sharif in al-Quds, launching protests across occupied Palestine, just as Fatah and Hamas leaders were on the verge of a landmark power-sharing agreement in Makkah? Probably not, for the Makkah Agreement signed on February 8 marks the failure of the US and Israel’s strategy of forcing Hamas to relinquish the mandate to lead the Palestinian people that Hamas won in Palestine’s parliamentary elections in January last year.
