“It is time that the Islamic world take a stand, and they have done that by creating a coalition to push back and confront the terrorists and those who promote their violent ideologies,” said Saudi’s Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir in Paris, France. No option has been excluded, not even deploying troops on the ground. Possible intervention areas are Syria, Iraq, the Egyptian region of Sinai, Yemen, Mali, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.
Iraq, Iran, and Syria – Saudi’s regional foes – have been excluded from the coalition, despite the terroristic Islamic State represents a common enemy to be fought and defeated. Bin Salman has pointed out that the coalition aims to defeat any form of terrorism, not only Isis.
