🚨 JUST IN: The Iraqi Parliament: has called for the activation of the Arab Defense Treaty in response to the ongoing Israeli actions in Gaza.
What is the Arab Defense Treaty?
The Arab Defense Treaty was established in 1950, bringing together several Arab nations with the shared aim of promoting collective defense in the event of aggression against any member state.
When this treaty is invoked, it could lead to collective military action, similar to NATO, with other member states offering military support, such as troops, equipment, or logistical assistance.
What Are the Consequences?
It's important to note that this treaty has seen limited use in the past and remains untested. Largely rooted in a Pan-Arab ideology, which was more influential at the time than it is today, it only underwent further development in 1961 with the proposal of the Joint Arab Command (JAC) as a unified military command for the Arab League. Currently, the treaty holds more symbolic significance than practical military utility.
