Turkey, Saudi Sign Railway Pact Bypassing Israel; Impact on India | Vantage LIVE

Описание

Turkey and Saudi Arabia have signed agreements to revive a historic railway corridor linking the Gulf to Turkey and Europe through Jordan and Syria. While presented as an infrastructure project, the corridor carries major geopolitical significance. It revives the spirit of the Ottoman-era Hejaz Railway and offers an overland alternative to vulnerable maritime chokepoints such as the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea. The route also bypasses Israel, potentially reducing its role in regional trade networks and challenging the vision behind the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC). The project highlights shifting alliances, Turkey’s strategic ambitions, and Syria’s gradual reintegration into regional economics.
