Arab neighbours hope Khashoggi outrage will rein in Saudi prince | Financial Times:
Arab countries are hoping that the fallout from Jamal Khashoggi’s death will lead Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to temper aggressive policies that have unsettled the region since his ascent to power in Riyadh.
Arab governments in the Gulf and the Middle East have fallen over each other to defend Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler as a Turkey-led campaign singled out some of his closest aides as alleged perpetrators of the killing of the Saudi journalist in the kingdom’s Istanbul consulate.
But privately, diplomats and senior officials from those countries have told the Financial Times that the death of the Saudi regime’s critic had confirmed their early concerns over the prince and was the latest in a series of ill-judged operations destabilising the region and threatening to sour relations with the Gulf’s protector, the US.
