After nearly three years of watching unchecked military aggression across Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Iran, the region\u2019s major powers are taking security into their own hands. Donald Trump\u2019s war on Iran exposed the hard truth that Washington can no longer reliably protect Gulf states or restrain Israel. With Western leaders unable or unwilling to enforce their own terms on Israel, Netanyahu continues to undermine diplomatic agreements from Lebanon to Gaza. By uniting military and economic weight, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan are building an alternative defense architecture to limit Israel\u2019s freedom of action and reclaim regional sovereignty. For the first time in a century, the region\u2019s biggest powers are preparing to defend their own land and people together. <\/p>\n<p>Source: Middle East Eye (@middleeasteye ) <\/p>\n<p>#SaudiArabia
