For all the headlines, this agreement doesn’t bring anything new to the Saudi-Pak relationship. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have signed similar agreements for decades (1951, 1967, 1982, 1995, 2015), and they have always tilted one way: toward Saudi security.

President Emmanuel Macron of France has in recent weeks so repeatedly vowed to grant de jure recognition to ‘Palestine’ on September 22, to coincide with the United Nations General Assembly, that reversing course at the eleventh hour seems highly unlikely.

While all Israeli military moves are now accompanied by a cacophony of hostile propaganda, against which Israel seems to employ little effort to defend itself, the political and military logic behind the current move is fairly clear and unremarkable. This is the final act in an until-now successful defensive war that Israel has been conducting over the last two years against the regional alliance of which Hamas is a part; Gaza City, Jan. 29, 2025.
