On Thursday, the U.S. announced sanctions on 17 Saudi individuals allegedly involved in Khashoggi's death. President Trump has resisted blaming MBS for Khashoggi's death. He has cited the importance of the Saudis in countering the influence of Iran in the region, as well as future military sales by U.S. defense contractors.
I sincerely hope Trump and company cut ties with MBS. He's not someone upon whom the United States should be dependent for anything. It's insanely brazen and reckless to order a murder and then allow five men who followed those orders to face beheading and feign innocence.
Funeral prayers were held today in Istanbul for journalist Khashoggi, more more than a month after his slaying. Khashoggi’s friends, Turkish politicians and others attended funeral prayers at Istanbul’s Fatih Mosque. The prayers were held “in absentia” because The Washington Post columnist’s remains still have not been found. :(
