Report: Saudi royals turn on king's favourite son after murder of Jamal Khashoggi

[Denizen]

Jared Kushner has backed the wrong horse as the Saudis turn on Jared's buddy Mohammed Bin Salman for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

Donald Trump will now have to do a flip-flop as MBS is pushed out by other Saudi Royals joining together against MBS.

Donald Trump is not the least bit embarrassed by his association and defense of MBS while Saudi society is humiliated by the brutal murder in a Saudi consulate.

Donald Trump's hand is being forced by the public release of the CIA opinion on the MBS responsibility for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. There are people in government who are not prepared to allow Donald Trump to sully the USA's reputation.

Report: Saudi royals turn on king's favourite son after killing
Amid outcry over writer's killing, dozens of princes and cousins want to see change in line of succession, report says.

Members of Saudi Arabia's ruling family are agitating to prevent Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) from becoming king after the international uproar over the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, sources close to the royal court told Reuters news agency.

Senior US officials, meanwhile, have indicated to Saudi advisers in recent weeks they would support Prince Ahmed bin Abdulaziz - who was deputy interior minister for nearly 40 years - as a potential successor to King Salman, according to Saudi sources with direct knowledge of the consultations.

Amid international outrage over Khashoggi's murder, dozens of princes and cousins from powerful branches of the Al Saud family want to see a change in the line of succession, but will not act while King Salman - the crown prince's 82-year-old father - is still alive, sources said.
They recognise the king is unlikely to turn against his favourite son, the report added.
Rather, they are discussing the possibility with other family members that after the king's death, Prince Ahmed, 76, uncle of the crown prince, could take the throne, according to the sources.

Prince Ahmed, King Salman's only surviving full brother, would have the support of family members, the security apparatus, and some Western powers, one of the Saudi sources said.

Prince Ahmed returned to Riyadh in October after two months abroad.
During the trip, he appeared to criticise the Saudi leadership while responding to protesters outside a London residence chanting for the downfall of the Al Saud dynasty. He was one of only three people on the Allegiance Council, made up of the ruling family's senior members, who opposed MBS becoming crown prince in 2017, Saudi sources said at the time.

Neither Prince Ahmed nor his representatives could be reached for comment. Officials in Riyadh did not immediately respond to requests from Reuters for comment on succession issues. ...

Besides, Saudi Arabia is spectacular......

Now, if Iran would simply start giving us more money and buying more of our weapons, maybe loan Jared some money, they will be spectacular too -- Reagan was right!!

That excludes Jared Kushner, Donald Trump and his Trumplings.

I wouldn’t call the man a “journalist”. He was a Muslim Brotherhood and terrorist supporter, like most Muslims.
