Saudi Arabia is less powerful than it may seem at first glance, former head of the National Security Council Prof. Jacob Nagel told 103FM in a Friday morning interview addressing the defense agreement between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan. "You have to understand that Saudi Arabia, despite all its wealth and weapons, is to a large extent a paper tiger. It has a great deal of weaponry and a great deal of money, but militarily, it cannot manage to 'get through the day,'" Nagel said.

He added, "If we examine the war in which the Saudis tried to fight the Houthis, we see that they failed despite all the advanced capabilities at their disposal. They have a great many assets, but nothing is really liquid, and they have reached a situation in which, economically, they need help." "I don't see the Turks sending their navy to attack the Houthis just because they attacked the Saudis. It simply does not fit my realistic view of the region," he stressed. Nagel therefore believes Saudi Arabia is looking for alternatives.

"It understands that it is in serious trouble, both financially and in terms of security. Even before the latest wars, we saw them make a surprising move and sign an agreement with Iran, simply because they are afraid and feel exposed to the tangible Iranian threat, and to its militias across the Middle East." He added, "The Saudis' problem is that they possess the most sophisticated equipment, aircraft, and intelligence, but they simply do not know how to use that power effectively on the ground. Therefore, all the talk about new alliances with Pakistan or Turkey should be taken with a very large grain of salt." At the same time, Nagel sought to explain the Saudi interest in the agreement.
