SCFR Online – Opinion: On Friday, August 7, the heads of state of three countries – Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan – signed a text under the title “Makkah Joint Defense Agreement.”
Strategic Council Online – Note: The initiative to revive the Hejaz Railway, beyond being a transportation project, constitutes an attempt to redefine geopolitics, the economy, and Turkey’s regional position; however, its realization appears to face significant financial, security, and institutional challenges.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Strait of Hormuz crisis is no longer merely the consequence of a military confrontation, but rather a sign of the transition from the US-centered maritime order to a new energy security structure involving the participation of emerging and influential powers.

Strategic Council Online – Note: Recent developments in the political geography of West Asia, from rising tensions in the Persian Gulf to missile and drone activities in the Red Sea and the recent warning by Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, regarding the threat to freedom of navigation, indicate a key pattern shift; the US-Iran war has moved beyond the scope of a regional and local confrontation and has linked two vital passageways for the global economy: the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Ukraine war was not merely a European crisis, but rather the starting point for the rearrangement of the global balance of power and a shift in the strategic behavior of great powers.

Strategic Council Online – An expert on the Middle East affairs said: The main reasons for the six-month protest demonstrations against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are economic problems, issues caused by the outbreak of the coronavirus and the inefficiency of his government in resolving public problems.
Strategic Council Online – An analyst on the Israeli regime’s affairs said the widespread popular protests in the Occupied Territories show that Netanyahu has practically polarized the Zionist society with his own kind of politics. “Much of the support Trump provides to Netanyahu’s policies is considered by the domestic circles of the United States and the Zionist regime to be in the interests of the “Netanyahu gang” and not in the interests of the Zionist regime as a whole.
Strategic Council Online: If Trump is defeated and Joe Biden wins in US presidential race, the next government in the Zionist regime will be transferred to the Leader of the Blue and White Party Benny Gantz after 18 months, and this is considered a political game within the Zionist regime; but if Trump remains in power it is likely to extend Netanyahu’s term on the pretext of unfinished projects.
