India-UAE Deal: Pakistan Fumes, Calls Saudi for 'Islamic NATO' Amidst $200 Billion Target

• UAE Crown Prince's short visit to India led to a significant boost in India-UAE relations, targeting $200 billion in trade.
• Pakistan, expecting $20 billion, was reportedly shocked by the India-UAE deal's scale.
• Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar immediately called the Saudi Foreign Minister during the UAE Crown Prince's visit to India.
• Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif proposed expanding defense ties with Saudi Arabia to form a 'multilateral defense alliance' including Turkey and other Muslim nations.
• Pakistan is attempting to rally Muslim countries for a collective security framework, citing 'Zionist threat' and regional conflicts, positioning itself as a leader due to its nuclear capability.
