‘Syria signs military agreement with Saudi Arabia and sends troops to help in the fight against the Houthis’

Syria has signed a military agreement with Saudi Arabia, deploying thousands of troops to assist in the fight against the Houthis in Yemen. Reports indicate an initial deployment of 3,000 soldiers, with plans for a total of 10,000 in the future. This agreement was reportedly approved during Syrian President Ahmed al-Chareh's visit to Riyadh. While details remain scarce, it is suggested that the cooperation includes training and expertise exchange. However, a Syrian diplomat has denied claims of troop deployment, stating the focus is on military training. The partnership may evolve into a mutual defense pact or Syria's inclusion in the Mecca alliance.
