I've been reading rumors about Jamal's Apple watch and what data it may have recorded. I sure hope there's some truth to that and not wishful thinking.

Primarily as a result of the weird diplomatic backflip against Qatar by the U.S. (in relation to communications with Saudi Arabia), the relationship between Turkey and Saudi Arabia is tumultuous, with Turkey supporting Qatar against Saudi Arabia in the ongoing diplomatic dispute.
Also, according to Pew opinion polls, Turks hold the most negative view of Saudi Arabia out of any surveyed Muslim country, with 53% of Turks expressing an unfavorable view.
