Syria Seeks Regional Security Alliance

Damascus is pursuing membership in the Mecca Defence Alliance, as Syria negotiates entry into a security pact involving Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, per Defence24.

The move comes amid ongoing regional tensions and efforts to bolster Syria's security framework, with officials emphasizing the need for a collective defense umbrella, The Media Line reports.

Meanwhile, Shiite pilgrims are returning to Damascus, reviving economic hopes but also rekindling wartime fears, The Media Line notes.

Recent explosions in Damascus were reported during French President Macron's visit, ABC News mentions.
