More and more, we are talking about a new alignment in the region. Turkiye, which was once viewed with suspicion by both Egypt and the Arab Gulf states, is getting closer to Cairo and Riyadh. The reason is obvious: Egypt, Turkiye and Saudi Arabia all want a stable region. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Friday stressed that countries in the region are finally recognizing that they have collective strength. He added that they need to take responsibility for the fate of the Middle East and not wait for external powers to come and solve their problems.
