土耳其：议会将表决批准与沙特阿拉伯、巴基斯坦的联合防务协定 协定含集体防务条款
土耳其议会定于11月4日表决批准与沙特阿拉伯、巴基斯坦的一项防务协定；协定包含集体防务条款，意味着北约第二大军队土耳其将对沙特阿拉伯的防务作出承诺，而沙特正面临也门胡塞武装的袭击。这份名为《麦加联合防务协定》的三方协定由三国于今年8月签署，土耳其上月将其提交议会批准。
批准将使土耳其对沙特承担正式的共同防务义务，但这本身并不等于向沙特派遣土耳其军队：部署军事人员需要议会另行授权。官员们上月对路透社表示，预计土耳其对沙特的贡献将限于军事装备、情报共享与武器系统；国防部长 Yasar Guler 表示，土耳其不认为其部队会与胡塞武装交战或参与进攻行动。
该协定签署于胡塞武装对沙特发动本轮袭击之前。一名伊朗高级官员对路透社表示，德黑兰与华盛顿距离结束战争仍很远，与此同时胡塞武装正加强对利雅得的袭击。

Turkey: Parliament Set to Ratify Defence Pact With Saudi Arabia and Pakistan That Includes a Collective Defence Clause
Turkey's parliament is set to ratify a defence pact with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan that includes a collective defence clause, committing NATO's second-largest army to Riyadh's defence as it faces attacks by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis. Turkey submitted the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, signed by the three countries in August, to parliament for ratification last month, with the vote scheduled for November 4.
Ratification gives Ankara a formal mutual defence obligation toward Saudi Arabia, but it does not on its own send Turkish forces there: deploying military personnel would require a separate mandate from parliament. Officials told Reuters last month that Turkey's contribution to Saudi Arabia was expected to be limited to military equipment, intelligence sharing and weapons systems. Defence Minister Yasar Guler has said Turkey did not see its troops engaging in combat or offensive operations against the Houthis.
The pact was signed before the Houthis launched their latest attacks against Saudi Arabia. A senior Iranian official told Reuters that Tehran and Washington remain far from a deal to end their war, with the Houthis stepping up attacks on Riyadh.
