Syria is considering joining a new Mecca Defence Alliance led by Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, per Daily Sabah.

The proposed alliance aims to enhance security cooperation in the region, though Syria has not yet confirmed its participation.

Meanwhile, Iraqi Prime Minister Ahmed Al-Sharaa visited Damascus for discussions on regional security challenges and oil exports, Bloomberg reports.

The talks come amid ongoing security concerns in both northern and southern Syria, as highlighted by Long War Journal.
