The Makkah Joint Defence Agreement, signed August 7, 2026, by Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Pakistan, establishes collective defense obligations and has been explicitly framed by its parties as open to accession by additional regional states. No formal joinings have occurred in the three weeks since signing. Egypt’s foreign minister stated Cairo is examining the pact in light of constitutional and legal commitments, while Turkish officials have identified it as a prospective early participant once technical details are addressed. Bangladesh’s foreign affairs adviser expressed a positive stance toward potential participation aligned with national interests. Diplomatic commentary has also referenced possible interest from Qatar, Kuwait, and other Gulf states, with scattered reports of outreach to Iran under review. These signals of openness, tempered by procedural and alliance-related considerations, shape trader assessments of near-term expansion prospects.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if any country other than Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, or Pakistan formally joins the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
A country will be considered to have formally joined if either of the following occurs:
the country signs the Agreement or a formal accession protocol or instrument that, by its terms or official characterization, makes it a party, member, or signatory; or
the country and the Agreement’s existing parties officially announce, jointly or separately, that the country has become a party, member, or signatory.
Statements of intent, applications, invitations to join, negotiations, parliamentary authorization, approval in principle, or general defense cooperation will not qualify. A separate bilateral or multilateral defense agreement will not qualify unless it is officially identified as accession to the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement.
Once a qualifying accession has occurred, this market will resolve to “Yes,” regardless of any subsequent withdrawal, suspension, reversal, or termination.
The primary resolution sources for this market will be official information from the governments of Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, Pakistan, and any country reported to have joined; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
