They don't seem to be paying a significant price in terms of money at this time.
But, Jamal's murder has put a global spotlight on Saudi Arabia's human rights' abuses within the country, under the supposedly 'progressive' regime of MBS.
And, there is finally growing pressure on the U.S. (from Republicans, Dems, and Independents -- inside and outside of Congress) to stop backing the Saudis' attacks in Yemen, which have led to terrible human rights abuses there.
The Saudis are blocking off aide channels as Yemeni civilians are starving and being killed in Saudi strikes. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/...r-in-yemen
Hopefully, some good will come of the terrible murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
